Doctor Larry Nassar may be going to prison of the rest of his life — he was sentenced to 40-175 years on Wednesday — but this isn’t over.
Olympics star Aly Raisman spoke about the trial with Hoda Kotb on the Today show Thursday morning (above).

In addition to opening up about how it felt for her to face her monster in court, she also once again called out USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee — and the fact they put so many girls in the care of such a man.
In fact, she says she just found out something incredibly damning:
“So I recently found out, according to my knowledge, Larry Nassar did not have a medical license in Texas, which is where we went to the ranch and trained…
What does that say about USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic Committee? Whether they knew or didn’t know, that’s a big problem. We need to investigate how this happened! I mean how is that possible, he doesn’t have a medical license in Texas??”
She also said:
“The put medals, reputation, and money over the safety of athletes.”
Dang, gurl! Keep fighting!
On a more positive note, one of the “magnificent things” Aly is moving onto debuted today.
She’s starring with Yara Shahidi, Iskra Lawrence, and Rachel Platten in a brand new body positive, “no retouching” campaign for Aerie!
