Edward Nyman's appointment as the first full-time director of sports medicine and science at USA Gymnastics lasted just one day.
The embattled organization announced it had removed Nyman on Tuesday, barely 24 hours after naming him to the position. USA Gymnastics cited an unspecified conflict of interest as its reason for re-opening the job.
The director of sports medicine and science at USA Gymnastics will take on various roles within the organization, including overseeing and managing the team's medical staff -- from physicians to athletic trainers and physical therapists -- ensuring all medical and training personnel comply with athlete safety policies and procedures and communicating with the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
USA Gymnastics said in a statement to The Associated Press later Tuesday "the decision to terminate Dr. Nyman's employment was not based on any comments made on social media platforms or anywhere else. In accordance with our employment policies, we cannot comment further on this personnel matter."
