U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein plans to introduce legislation requiring Olympic national governing bodies to immediately report sexual abuse allegations. 
 

MASON, Mich. (AP) — The U.S. Sen. calls for Olympic officials to immediately address any sexual abuse charges.

USA Gymnastics went to federal authorities a month after starting an internal investigation into Dr. Larry Nassar.
