An independent report, commissioned by the U.S. Olympic Committee, on how sports doctor Larry Nassar was allowed to sexually abuse young athletes for decades refers to a “constellation of underlying factors,” including failures by institutions and individuals. One key individual in that constellation, according to the report, was Scott Blackmun, former USOC general counsel, who was its CEO during the scandal.
