Re: Martha and Bela Karolyi
Dear Andy and Sarah,
Asa follow-up to ycur telephone interview of Martha and Bela Karolyi and your subsequent
‘writen questions by email dated February 9, 2017 - on behalf of the Karolyis - we respond as
follows:
‘As discussed during your recent telephone interview with the Karolyis, the Karoyis
did not have any knowledge of any complaint from anyone concerning any atlete’s
alleged mistreatment by Dr. Nassar until they leamed of his dismissal ftom USA.
Gymnastics during the summer of 2015. At the National Training Camp, the
Karolyis encouraged the attending athletes to eat well, sleep wel, and train with
hear. The Karolyis deny the existence ofa “toxic” environment. In addition, the
Karolyis were never aware that Dr. Nassar 1) would be performing any procedures
‘which are now the subject ofthe present litigation or 2) visiting athletes in their
rooms without supe-vision. Finally, the Karolyis will not offer an opinion on any
athlete's veracity relative to their statements to the media considering pending
litigation,
Asalrondy discuss, the Karolyie are open to further limited diceussions with your team for
purposes of balanced and unsiased reporting. We trst you ean understand their position -as we will
not litigate this matter inthe media.
