WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – chairman of the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security with jurisdiction over the health and safety of USA Gymnastics, US Olympic and NCAA athletes – today released the following statement regarding USA Gymnastics (USAG) President and CEO Kerry Perry’s resignation:

“Kerry Perry’s resignation gives USAG the opportunity to begin a new chapter – one that cares about athletes above accumulating medals. The selection process for the new CEO must be transparent and done in a manner that respects the efforts of those who have demanded change and are already helping shape the future of the Olympic movement. As my subcommittee’s investigation continues, I will closely follow the selection process to make certain athlete safety and protection is at the forefront of USAG’s decision when choosing the next CEO.”
