Why would Rep. Jim Jordan, former OSU coach, cover for a doctor molesting students? I have a guess.
(Background: Jim Jordan is one of the attack dogs in the House, and recently tried and failed to take Rod Rosenstein down. Jordan wants to replace Paul Ryan as Speaker.)
OSU is investigating multiple claims that Dr. Richard Strauss, now deceased, molested many, many, many male students over his years as a team doctor.
Students say that Strauss molested them individually, and that he took showers with the wrestling team, and that this was common knowledge -- and one of the students KNOWS Coach Jordan knew because he told him after he got molested.
So why didn't they just fire the doctor? It can't be that hard to hire a team doctor. A particular team doctor doesn't affect the bottom line.
What if that team doctor was a Candy Man? A Candy Man doctor, dishing out steroids, probably would be harder to replace.
What do we know about Dr. Richard Strauss?
That he did research on the effects of steroid use (bad, he said)
That he was chosen as the doctor to do drug testing on Olympic athletes in 1984
And that he had this to say in 1988, in an article about the controversy about whether steroids improve athletic performance:

An article in the campus newspaper from 1984 said he was selected to test Olympic athletes for illegal drug use during the summer games in Los Angeles.
Other articles published during the 1980s indicated Strauss studied injury rates among wrestlers and other athletes, as well as the effects of steroid use.
