We failed these athletes once and will not do so again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The USOC is working on a number of items concurrently with the independent investigation that is being conducted by the firm Ropes &amp; Gray. In addition to the AAF funding, the USOC has doubled its funding to the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Further, the USOC is taking actions to ensure athletes have a stronger voice within the USOC, forming a working group to review the governance structure across the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic community, and is overseeing efforts to rebuild USA Gymnastics.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the $1.3 million grant to the AAF, the USOC is setting up a separate program for abuse survivors from other sports, to include counseling, treatment and testing services. It is expected to be in place by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Additional information on the USOC\u2019s efforts can be found at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/link.teamusa.org\/c\/4\/?T=NzkwMjk2MzY%3AMDItYjE4MTQyLWE4MjYzMzA1ODI5ZTQ2ZTk4ODBhNTJlMjAyY2I5ZDE4%3AbmV3c21hc3RlckBzd2ltbWluZ3dvcmxkbWFnYXppbmUuY29t%3AbGVhZC02YWM3ZmYzMTM1ZDllMzExOTNmYTAwNTA1NmFkNDM3Yy04ZGJjYjUxZTJlOGE0ZjE4ODQ4NDgzMzk1ZWRjOTdhOQ%3AZmFsc2U%3AMQ%3A%3AaHR0cDovL3d3dy50ZWFtdXNhLm9yZy9TYWZlU3BvcnQ_X2NsZGVlPWJtVjNjMjFoYzNSbGNrQnpkMmx0YldsdVozZHZjbXhrYldGbllYcHBibVV1WTI5dCZyZWNpcGllbnRpZD1sZWFkLTZhYzdmZjMxMzVkOWUzMTE5M2ZhMDA1MDU2YWQ0MzdjLThkYmNiNTFlMmU4YTRmMTg4NDg0ODMzOTVlZGM5N2E5JmVzaWQ9MGM1NWY1MWEtZjA1ZC1lODExLTgxMDItMDA1MDU2YWQwYTBm&amp;K=FdDG9fB1UwcSWV2T7YLcmg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"link noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/link.teamusa.org\/c\/4\/?T%3DNzkwMjk2MzY%253AMDItYjE4MTQyLWE4MjYzMzA1ODI5ZTQ2ZTk4ODBhNTJlMjAyY2I5ZDE4%253AbmV3c21hc3RlckBzd2ltbWluZ3dvcmxkbWFnYXppbmUuY29t%253AbGVhZC02YWM3ZmYzMTM1ZDllMzExOTNmYTAwNTA1NmFkNDM3Yy04ZGJjYjUxZTJlOGE0ZjE4ODQ4NDgzMzk1ZWRjOTdhOQ%253AZmFsc2U%253AMQ%253A%253AaHR0cDovL3d3dy50ZWFtdXNhLm9yZy9TYWZlU3BvcnQ_X2NsZGVlPWJtVjNjMjFoYzNSbGNrQnpkMmx0YldsdVozZHZjbXhrYldGbllYcHBibVV1WTI5dCZyZWNpcGllbnRpZD1sZWFkLTZhYzdmZjMxMzVkOWUzMTE5M2ZhMDA1MDU2YWQ0MzdjLThkYmNiNTFlMmU4YTRmMTg4NDg0ODMzOTVlZGM5N2E5JmVzaWQ9MGM1NWY1MWEtZjA1ZC1lODExLTgxMDItMDA1MDU2YWQwYTBm%26K%3DFdDG9fB1UwcSWV2T7YLcmg&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1527112368083000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGjoKgv0oz1LMrTFTNHuWt9MalKOQ\">TeamUSA.org\/SafeSport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with the United States Olympic Committee.
