Aly Raisman ripped into USA Gymnastics on Twitter for asking its athletes to fill out an anonymous survey about what they would be looking for in a new CEO for the organization.
USGA is on the hunt for a new leader after interim CEO Mary Bono resigned earlier this month after just four days in the position.
Bono was criticized for working for the law firm that helped USAG craft false statements about Larry Nassar as well as attacking Nike for making Colin Kaepernick the face of its latest ad campaign.
Raisman, 24, said she doesn’t trust USAG leadership to replace Bono.
USAG is asking athletes to fill out an anonymous survey to find out what qualities make good CEO. Is that a joke? Really? USAG you know exactly the kind of CEO the org needs, you just don’t have the integrity or character to hire the right person.

She continued:
I don’t trust the current leadership/board at USAG to pick a new CEO. They’ve failed us too many times. They’ve shown us their lack of urgency to fix & understand this horrible problem. If changes in leadership/ board don’t happen I am terrified that history will repeat itself.

Bono’s predecessor, Kerry Perry, was only on the job for nine months before quitting.
Perry was not considered up to the task of heading the organization in the wake of the Nassar scandal and the way she handled the situation, particularly her perceived callousness with regard to the victims, led to her dismissal.
