Jordyn Wieber is the 2011 World All Around Champion and a member of the Fierce Five that won the team gold at the 2012 London Olympics. She is now the 4th member of the Fierce Five to publicly come out as one of Nassar's survivors after McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Gabby Douglas. She says that Nassar treated her from age 8 to 18 and started sexually abusing her when she was 14 after she tore a hamstring in her right leg. She says that her right shin was injured in London and she now questions if Nassar was even properly treating it or if he was just focusing on who he was going to prey on next. She says that she talked about how uncomfortable his treatments felt with McKayla and Aly, but didn't know it was abuse. She also says that Nassar brought the girls coffee and food in London when they were too afraid to eat in front of their coaches to make it seem like he was their friend.
To those who question why I’m holding John Geddert responsible, MSU, and USAG. You all failed to protect us. You failed to be decent human beings. You are the blame. pic.twitter.com/sAErnSY5Wi

Jordyn's coach was John Geddert, who is now being accused of being physically and mentally abusive. Geddert is also being accused of enabling Larry Nassar since he received a complaint about Nassar back in 1998 and let Nassar continue working at Twistars after he "retired" from USAG in 2015 after Maggie Nichols reported him. Jordyn stopped training in elite gymnastics in 2013 after Geddert was investiagted by the police for physically assaulting someone and went to UCLA to become a studen coach for their gymnastics team since she can't compete since she went pro. She has graduated but is still the UCLA floor coach now. Geddert didn't go to jail and instead only did 2 months of counseling and isn't on the USAG banned list. Jordyn didn't say anything about Geddert in her statement, but other people who have testified like Lindsey Lemke and Bayle Pickel said that Geddert threw ice at them, pushed them off the beam and bars, made them compete on injuries, and made treatment from Nassar mandatory (he wouldn't accept doctor notes from anyone else). This abusive environment led them to thinking Nassar was their friend/"the good guy" and allowed him to groom them. An anonymous survivor of Nassar said "I remember [Nassar] doing treatment on me ...... with a towel over my butt, and John Geddert walking in making a joke that I guess my back really did hurt."
