I'm not the most well versed in gymnastics either, but from what I've read from someone who is (Lauren Hopkins who writes for The Couch Gymnast- her tumblr is great Tell Me I'm Good...), FIG can't really do anything unless USAG files some kind of complaint against the Italian gymnastics federation. Apparently Martha probably isn't going to do that because she likely wants to protect Simone from it all. The girls don't really read things online or follow the international gymnasts, so they probably have no clue what was even said. And I've also read that the Italian gymnastics federation's Facebook got out of control after it all. Go back through the past few days of Lauren's tumblr if you're interested in reading more about itCould the international board for gymnastics not do anything? (If there is one, not the most knowledgeable on gymnastics)
It would be awful if she just "got away" with saying that just because she was pissed off. I know you can get caught up in the heat of the moment but what she said was horrible!
