USA Gymnastics announced that former federal prosecutor Deborah J. Daniels will conduct an independent review of USA Gymnastics handling of matters of sexual misconduct.Daniels, whose experience includes a strong focus on child physical and sexual abuse, will review USA Gymnastics bylaws, policies, procedures, practices and conduct alongside experts and organizations related to law enforcement and child welfare. She will give a final recommendation to the USA Gymnastics board of directors.Deborahs background makes her the right choice to lead this important effort because the well-being of our athletes is paramount, said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. We believe Deborahs review of our current practices against todays standards in this critical area, coupled with interviewing members of the gymnastics community and authorities in related areas, will generate recommendations on what needs refinement to further promote athlete safety.Nothing is more important than the safety of all athletes and young people, Daniels said. This evaluation is intended to review and strengthen the existing USA Gymnastics process, in addition to likely yielding important insights for other youth-serving organizations.On Oct. 27, a former member of the U.S. womens gymnastics team filed a civil lawsuit against Dr. Larry Nassar in California Superior Court, saying the longtime team doctor for USA Gymnastics sexually assaulted her during medical exams and that former coaches Bela and?Marta Karolyi failed to protect her and engaged in their own pattern of physical and emotional abuse.The suit also says that top USA Gymnastics officials had wide-ranging knowledge of the abuse but for years concealed and ignored it, enabling both Nassar and the Karolyis.The allegations against Nassar closely echo those made by a second former gymnast, a 2000 Olympic medalist, who sued Nassar and others in early September. Both suits allege that Nassar sexually assaulted multiple team members, though the previous suit did not include specific assertions against the Karolyis.Lewis Lloyd Jersey .

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers players and coaches say they arent distracted by increasing chatter that the team will relocate to Los Angeles.Ron Rivera wonders otherwise.Rivera, the coach of the Carolina Panthers, knows all about the Chargers long, bruising stadium saga because he was on San Diegos staff from 2007-10.During a conference call with San Diego reporters Wednesday, Rivera was asked about some of the problems encountered this year by the Chargers (5-7), who visit the defending NFC champion Panthers (4-8) on Sunday.Rivera mentioned injuries, and then segued into the possible relocation.Some other things that have hurt them, too, has been ... I dont want to call it a distraction, but wanting to get a new stadium, Rivera said. I know Mr. Spanos would love to be able to keep that team there -and again, that comes up every year and quite honestly it weighs a little bit on the players -- at least I believe it does, from my opinion.But at the end of the day, whatevers going to happen is going to happen for the organization. I really do believe its a tremendous organization. I think the Spanos family has done a great job there.On Nov. 8, San Diego voters overwhelmingly defeated the Chargers ballot measure asking for $1.15 billion in hotel occupancy taxes to help pay for a $1.8 billion downtown stadium and convention center annex to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.The next day, team chairman Dean Spanos said he wouldnt make any announcements about the teams future until after the season.Since then, there have been numerous reports, based on anonymous sources, that the Chargers feel they have no option but to move to Los Angeles, where they would join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019.The Chargers must decide by Jan. 15 if theyll exercise their option to move to L.A. or give it one more try in San Diego.The Chargers and their fans went through this last year, when Spanos partnered with the rival Oakland Raiders on a plan to build a stadium in the LA suburb of Carson. When the Chargers hosted the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 20, many fans felt it was the teams final game in San Diego, its home since 1961.But a month later, NFL owners overwhelmingly rejected the Chargers-Raiders plan in favor of the Rams Inglewood plan. However, owners gave Spanos the option to relocate. If Spaanos doesnt take that option, it will then go to the Raiders, unless they commit to Las Vegas.ddddddddddddQuarterback Philip Rivers, a father of eight, would certainly be affected by the Chargers moving.Still, he says the increasing talk about moving isnt a distraction.No. I dont think anybodys thinking about that in the fourth quarter. You dont just start thinking about it, Rivers said. Shoot, I dont give much thought to things I dont know enough about.Asked about hearing relocation talk for a second straight season, Rivers said: Again, I dont like to downplay the situation, but I think its been exhausted to what I can add to it or say about it. If it were to happen or doesnt happen, then thered be something. Every day, I dont look to see if theres a new report. I doubt that theres one guy in there talking about it right now, would be my guess.Some reports have said the Chargers could play the next two years at the StubHub! Center in Carson. That would seem a bit preposterous, since it seats only 27,000.Rivers has been to the StubHub! Center, when his younger brother, Stephen, practiced there for an all-star game.Its a neat little stadium, Philip Rivers said.And the Chargers playing there?Itll be a story if it ever gets to that, Rivers said.USA Today reported Tuesday that the Chargers have been talking with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home of the Southern California Trojans and, temporarily, the Rams. However, the Coliseum Commissions lease with USC, which runs the stadium, allows only one NFL team to play there temporarily. The commissions next regularly scheduled meeting is Jan. 26, 11 days after the Chargers must decide whether theyre moving.The Chargers attempt to move last year has turned off many fans. That, coupled with another down year, has dropped home attendance to an average of average of 55,488, worst in the NFL, at 70,000-seat Qualcomm Stadium.The Chargers last home game this season is Jan. 1 against Kansas City. They have been all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
