OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics said a team employee has been suspended after it was discovered that he hid a camera inside the weight room at the O.co Coliseum.
Strength and conditioning coach Mike Henriques was sent home when the A's were on a recent road trip.
Henriques said he set up the camera to watch players working out and rehabilitating from injuries. He is in his fifth year with the team.

The A's said Friday there was an ongoing investigation. Yahoo! Sports first reported the story and said an independent law firm is handling the investigation.
"It's an internal personnel issue," A's director of corporate operations Catherine Aker told reporters before Friday's game between Oakland and the Chicago Cubs. "We take it very seriously."
The camera was discovered by a player on July 25, one day after the A's left on a nine-game trip.
A's player rep Sean Doolittle did not accompany the team on its trip because he was on the disabled list because of a strained left shoulder. Doolittle was notified of the situation and took the issue to management.

If he wanted to perv out wouldn't it make more sense to tape the locker room?

I actually do not think this sounds like a bad idea. Obviously you should follow the proper channels, but the reasons he listed are actually reasonable.
He is the strength and conditioning coach it is his responsibility to make sure guys are doing what they are suppose to do when he is not around. Assuming it was strictly in the weights area and not in the locker rooms or bathrooms.
Good idea, poor execution.

I agree.
And virtually every other aspect of their physical workday (practice and games) is filmed.

I don't buy it. If you want to perv you put cameras in the locker room, showers, bathrooms and so on. Not the weight room. I doubt guys are working out naked.
