The entire board of USA Gymnastics has resigned as the fallout continues from the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal.

Nassar was this week sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexual abuse of gymnasts in his care, many of whom were underage.

The US Olympic Committee demanded the board of USA gymnastics resign, over allowing the abuse to take place.

Had the resignations not been made, the US Olympic Committee said it would have de-certified USA Gymnastics as the governing body of the sport.
