| Former Wrestlers Sue Ohio State University |
|
Four former wrestlers for Ohio State University have filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the institution, claiming administrators knew that the team doctor, Richard Strauss, had sexually abused athletes more than 20 years ago, and did nothing to stop it. The lawsuit alleges that male athletes involved in 14 sports were subject to â??excessive and medically unnecessary fondling, touching, and gropingâ?? during routine medical examinations, echoing the claims of several former wrestlers who told their stories to NBC News in the past month. In April, Ohio State announced it had opened an investigation into alleged misconduct by Strauss, who died in 2005.
