"USA Gymnastics and the Karolyis were entrusted with precious girls and young women who had dreams of Olympic gold for themselves and for their country. People really don't understand the sacrifices these children made. They sacrificed their childhood and adolescence, and when somebody does that, they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and they got neither," Manly told The News. "These children were isolated from their parents, and the Karolyis had complete control. It was the Karolyis and their coaches and these children. In that environment, Dr. Nassar molested them. There was a toxic environment at that (training site) where secrets had to be kept, and when you have that, this kind of abuse can occur, and it is inexcusable. The priority was not the well-being of these kids. The priority was winning at all costs, even if meant sacrificing the emotional and physical well-being of the young women and girls. That's against the law, and it's fundamentally un-American. We can win without degrading the athletes that compete."
