A FORMER Olympic gymnastics coach facing allegations of sexual abuse resigned on Tuesday from his coaching and director positions at a prominent Orange County club.
Don Peters, who coached the 1984 US women's Olympic team, resigned from SCATS. The resignation comes after a newspaper's investigation last month alleging sexual and physical abuse of underage gymnasts. More than a dozen former gymnasts told the newspaper stories of abuse. Doe Yamashiro, a former US national team member, said Peters began fondling her in 1986, when she was 16, and had sexual intercourse with her when she was 17. Peters led the US women's team to a record eight medals in the 1984 Olympics.
