USA Gymnastics is involved in a "cover-up" and knew about Larry Nassar's abuse, three-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman said Monday during an appearance on NBC's "Today" show.
Raisman also said the $215 million settlement proposed by the organization was "offensive."
"It shows they don't care," she told Stephanie Gosk. "They're just trying to push it under the rug and hoping people will forget about it when they watch the Olympics this summer."
The settlement would be divided among Nassar's 150-plus victims in a four-tiered system based on how far they progressed in their gymnastics career and where the abuse happened. It would also release former USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny, former coaches Martha and Béla Károlyi, and other officials and gymnastics leaders from any liability.
Another detail of the settlement is it would not require USA Gymnastics top disclose who knew about Nassar's abuse and when they knew it.
"It's honestly offensive," Raisman said. "It's devastating. It's incredibly draining. USA Gymnastics, United States Olympic Committee — they refused to take any accountability to address the issue, to figure out what went wrong.
"I am heartbroken that this is still going on."
Nassar is serving a life sentence after more than 150 women, including Raisman, accused him of sexual abuse.
USA Gymnastics in a statement to NBC said it has fully cooperated with all investigative bodies and must "respect the confidentiality and integrity" of the process.
The organization said it has "deep respect and empathy for the victims" and it is committed to achieving "justice for the survivors in an expedited manner."
