Gabby Douglas isn’t taking the side of her teammate Aly Raisman.

On Friday, Douglas took to Twitter to share her thoughts on Raisman’s claims that she was sexually abused by former U.S. gymnastics team Doctor Larry Nassar, and her opinion is shocking to some, including a fellow teammate.

The guy was the team doctor!

Bad move by Gabby. She should let a PR firm handle her tweets. Look for an apology within the next few hours when her agent calls her up and tells her not to victim blame.

How modestly can you dress when the doctor comes in and reaches under your johnny?

Or, is Gabby suggesting that because you dress “hot” when you arrive at the doctor’s office, you are fair game inside it once your appointment starts?

Yep I don’t get this. How modesty enters into a doctor’s appointment is beyond me.

My first thought was didn’t she spend a bunch of time with Moochelle? Maybe she converted as nobody but Muslims phrases it quite like that. If so yet another thing they turned to $h!t

Disgusting. She knows damn well how innocent these (virgin teen or younger) girls were in front of a doctor who was called the best, the Olympic team doctor, an expert. They are used to being ordered around for hours a day for years by adult coaches. How were they to know, when alone with the team doctor, that he was abusing them? He pretended his techniques to help their injuries were medical treatments!!!

Gaby wore the same leotards without underwear that all gymnasts wear! Not modest, but we need to protect our athletes as they wear their traditional uniform. How dare she blame Ally for enticing!?! Shame on Gaby.

Leotards or Singlets
Gymnasts usually use leotards or singlets. Leotards can be short-sleeved or long-sleeved and cut at the groin area much like a bikini. If you don’t like this cut, you can opt for a singlet, a leotard that is cut in the shape of shorts at the bottom instead of a bikini. Many gymnasts wear these in training, with or without tight-fitting shorts over top. However, gymnasts are required to wear leotards or singlets in competition. Ensure that your leotard or singlet doesn’t have any hanging adornments, such as frills, straps and strings because these can get caught and increase your risk of falling.

I do know pretty much close to everything about the sport, but thanks.

I love the sport and I now have a tiny little gymnast about whom I am hyper protective.
