USA Gymnastics has cut ties with Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas amid the sexual abuse scandal involving former team doctor Larry Nassar.
The change comes just a few days after gold medalist Symone Biles revealed that she was also abused by Nassar.
On social media, Biles said it "breaks her heart" to think she would have to return to the training facility where she was abused in order to train for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
In a series of tweets on Thursday afternoon attributed to Kerry Perry, president and CEO of USA Gymnastics, the organization said it terminated its agreement with Karoyli Ranch, which is where the national team trained.
The statement said that the top priority of USA gymnastics was its athletes and their training environment must reflect that.
Next week’s training camp for the women’s national team was also canceled.
Biles, 2012 Olympic champion Gabby Douglas, six-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman and two-time medalist McKayla Maroney, say they were abused by Nassar.
Nassar has already been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison on child pornography crimes and is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to molesting girls at Michigan State University and his home.

A new, permanent training location has not been determined.
