“The alleged abuse occurred in the form of hernia checks during medical exams. No showers were involved, if I understand correctly.”

This is standard procedure. In my High School football all players had a physical and a hernia check was part of the drill. If the doc had of done anything improper he would have got hurt.

The main complaint appears that ANY medical exam included the hernia check - which doesn’t seem out of scope for elite college wrestlers. The fact that a wrestler sprained an ankle doesn’t mean they also don’t have a hernia.

Thus far, I have yet to see anything out of line in this story, except that several ex-wrestlers are doing a #metoo and trying to smear a republican. Heck - the heavyweight guy (Coleman?) signed on as an assistant coach after Jordan left - and HE never reported the doctor, either!
