Rep Jordan defended by former Ohio State Univ Wrestling Coach

Former Ohio State University head wrestling coach Russ Hellickson said in a telephone interview, “Jim Jordan didn’t know anything. I didn’t know anything, and I don’t think any of the other coaches knew anything.”

Which begs the following question: While coaching together, when did they discuss not knowing about what Dr Strauss was doing?

"Hey Jim did you hear nothing about Dr Strauss who was doing nothing illegal or unethical?"
"No, I hadn't heard anything."
"Neither have I."

'not sure about you guys but please keep me on that don't talk don't tell rotation too bc if it gets out that we all seem to have to use the potty near the showers at the same time everyday, and usually we aren't the only one in the stall, it could get hairier than your butt coach."

Nobody knew anything. The students are lying. The press is out to get them because they're good, god fearing conservatives.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

BEHAVIOR?!??!???

Former OSU wrester Mike DiSabato's company Combat Athlete Coalition produced a video in June, he told CNN.

In the video, Hellickson says he confronted Strauss about taking showers with the student athletes, and told the doctor he was making the wrestlers nervous. The physician reportedly pointed out to the coach that Hellickson also showered with the team.

"I said, 'Yeah. Not for an hour, doc,' " the former coach says.

Hellickson indicates he spoke to officials about the team using a shared shower.

"Certainly, all of my administrators recognized that it was an issue for me," Hellickson says. "I'm sure that I talked to all of them on numerous occasions about my discontent with the environment."

"...he talked to the doctor about physical contact with the wrestlers.
"I told him one time, I said, 'Doctor you're much too hands on,' and he just said, 'Oh, I'm being thorough,' " Hellickson said.
Hellickson also says in the video that the doctor would often shower at the same time as the wrestlers, making them uncomfortable."
