Simone Biles says she was so underfed at training camps back in the day that she used to sneak into the kitchens to steal food because she was hungry.“We would break into the cafeteria to eat,” she said of her time at the Karolyi Ranch when she was aged 12. The training camp is also where Biles claims she was sexually abused by Larry Nassar.
The US gymnast says under the supervision of Márta and Béla Károlyi, she and her teammates were verbally abused about their weight and size. Food was also rationed and Biles says their eating was strictly monitored.

“I’ve never told that to anybody, like, on film or anything. But there would be nights where we’re, like, running with our hoodie up, and we would break into the cafeteria to eat.”
