Discussion Topic: Ohio State - Dr Richard Strauss
Freddy Carr added to this discussion on June 11, 2018

Anyone here heard about this guy? A doctor in the 80’s/90’s that was apparently sexually abusing athletes for years. Mike Disabato quoted in the article blow. Sounds like Strauss was a team doc for wrestling? Hope this doesn’t become a Sandusky-type scandal for OSU.

This has been around for about a month. While the allegations are disgusting, the Sandusky case much much different.

This is not to minimize in anyway the Strauss allegations. I wish he was alive to suffer the consequences of his behavior.

If, as Disabato is suggesting, this doc abused thousands and the higher-ups within the athletic department knew about it, it would seem at least at a high level to be similar.

Agree, too bad Strauss never had to pay for his alleged disgusting crimes.

Has anyone else made a like and similar claim against this Dr?

Until I hear multiple substantiated allegations of forceable rape of children, covered up for athletic gain, our definitions of similar will be dissimilar.

To Justin’s point, there have been multiple allegations as reported by TOSU.

Fair point. MSU’s situation may be a more apt comparison.

Sounds like Jim Jordan’s name is now involved. Have a feeling this is going to get pretty ugly.

He was the assistant coach for the Buckeyes during a time period of Dr. Strauss.

I feel terribly for the team members who were molested by this sick guy. I do think Ohio State will investigate thoroughly and that there will be some fall out for the university although nowhere near as bad as for PSU. But I really don't know the details.

A conveniently timed political hit job on the likely successor to the Speaker of the House.

So, is your opinion that these people are making up being sexually assaulted to somehow besmirch Congressman Jordan’s reputation?

I don’t believe I said that the sexual assault allegations were false. The timing of Jordan’s name being involved is what I commented on.

and when would be a good time to have brought this up? You surely aren't suggesting that they ignore this. imo this might be as big as PSU. 14 or 15 different sports were involved and Jordan's denials despite numerous team members saying they told him seems to be an attempt to save his political career at the expense of the young men that suffered this abuse. None of us know the true story except those that went through this but it must be investigated and if the allegations are true then those involved should suffer the consequences.
