"COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It was no secret that a team doctor, Richard Strauss, now being investigated for sexually abusing male athletes decades ago at Ohio State University liked to linger in the showers alongside those athletes. But he wasn't the only one leering at young men inside the campus recreation center where many teams practiced and university employees exercised."

Disgusting. At least we just pay our players in the SEC instead of trying to frick them.

This will go on for years potentially, but privacy issues have become much better over the past 15 years or so. Larkins hall was there when I was there for the first 2 years of my 4, and it was a piece of crap. It was never built to be the "wrestlers" place. Teams practiced there before all the current facilities (like Steelwood where Wrestling, Gymnastics and Fencing practice) were completed. That building was accessible to all students and only 1000 feet or so from 2 of the biggest dorms on campus.

So really what I'm saying is F these guys, but Larkins was never a "private" gym anyway if that makes sense

Yetts was convicted of fraud over an investment scheme, and DiSabato has been involved in legal disputes with the university over business matters, but they said none of that has any bearing on their allegations or their credibility. DiSabato said he never spoke up about Strauss while he was at the university because he didn't recognize it as
abuse and because he didn't want to jeopardize his wrestling career. He said Strauss' behavior was an open secret among wrestlers, who would snicker when a new teammate headed into his first exam with Strauss.

quote:

Nutter said he once contracted poison ivy on his genitals from doing work outdoors, and the pain was so bad that he reluctantly made a late-night call to Strauss, who told him to come to his home. He said Strauss had him lie naked in a candlelit bedroom with photos of unclothed men on the walls and groped him for several minutes.

I’m sorry, but going to the private home of a doctor you know is handsy for a checkup on your genitals is not good judgement.

Did he at least say “no homo” first?

So basically an intramural athletic facility was used by varsity sports for practice, training, and so on. This is and was a common practice at many Big Ten and SEC schools and ACC, Big 12 Pac 10 and so on.

If it was open to students, faculty, and staff as well as variety athletes we shouldn't be too shocked at the behavior of some.

The creation of varsity athlete only facilities fixes this problem.

Cut Jordan some slack. I don't think he was expected to police for this type of behavior and who knows? Maybe he sort of dug the atmosphere and so he never said or did anything.

I'll take signs this won't be a typical visit to the doctor for $200

How about you quit showering in public places, and you won't have creeps jacking off to you.

Go home and shower, weirdo.

Look, this is a side issue, but how do you get poison ivy on your genitals doing yard work?

On the main issue, it's really sad it takes this long for creepy people engaged in criminal conduct to have their behavior reported.
