So you finally admit that you're a habitual liar, as you have posted repeatedly on this very board that nobody here cares about Ohio State. You do realize that this is an old story reported long ago about a sick pervert who killed himself in 2005, don't you? This isn't a "new scandal," idiot, but the rehashing of it does give you yet another opportunity to confirm what a complete and total fraud that you truly are. I laugh at you...every. single. day.
Yeah, it happened years ago but check out the dateline on this article. It was all over the newsfeeds yesterday, so it seems that something may finally be done about it.

Ohio State said Friday that an investigation had confirmed — in voluminous details gleaned from hundreds of interviews — that a team doctor had sexually abused at least 177 men, including many varsity athletes, while working for the university in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.
The university also revealed that dozens of Ohio State officials, including more than 50 athletic department staff members, were aware of the doctor’s actions during his nearly two-decade tenure yet did not act to stop them.
In
a 182-page report issued on Friday, Ohio State detailed how the doctor, Richard H. Strauss, had groped students, required them to strip unnecessarily during examinations, and asked intimate questions about sexual practices under the guise of providing medical treatment.
“The findings are shocking and painful to comprehend,” the Ohio State president, Michael V. Drake, said in a statement.
That summer, Dr. Strauss was first suspended and then removed from his post, but he remained a tenured faculty member. Dr. Strauss then opened an off-campus clinic, where he continued to abuse students. He was still a professor emeritus at the time of his death, though Ohio State said Friday that it would begin the process of revoking that status.
This is the second time in less than a year that the Ohio State’s athletic department has faced scrutiny for failing to address its knowledge of abuse more forthrightly. Last summer, Urban Meyer, then the Buckeyes’ football coach, was found to have known for years that one of his assistants, Zach Smith, had been accused of assault by his former wife.
Meyer insisted that he had “always followed proper protocols and procedures” by “elevating the issues to the proper channels,” but he was placed on administrative leave during an investigation and suspended for three games for failing to appropriately manage an employee. In December, he announced his retirement.
In the Strauss report, investigators laid out how, starting as early as 1979, athletes reported coming in for treatment for a variety of ailments, including one who had a sore throat, only to find that Dr. Strauss would touch their genitals. The accounts were so numerous, the report said, that investigators elected not to include an exhaustive accounting of each one. But those that were included — a student who reported going for treatment of an ear problem and having his genitals fondled as part of the examination, a wrestler required to strip naked and walk across a room so Dr. Strauss could evaluate his gait — were clear red flags to the coaches and trainers later told about them.
“From roughly 1979 to 1996,” the report said, “male students complained that Strauss routinely performed excessive — and seemingly medically unnecessary — genital exams, regardless of the medical condition the student-patients presented.”
The report also said that in one case, when a student responded to abuse “with anger and some physicality,” Dr. Strauss accused the student of assaulting him.

Still, as late as 1995, Dr. Strauss received nothing lower than “excellent” on his performance evaluation.
said last year that Dr. Strauss groped him “19 exams out of 20.” He said he was inspired to come forward after watching gymnasts accuse Larry Nassar, a former Michigan State doctor, of sexual abuse.
Other wrestlers also spoke out about their abuse, including Michael Rodriguez, who said, “When you’d get a lesion or breakout or infection on your face, you took a rough elbow, whatever, the intimacy with which he would conduct that examination was as creepy and inappropriate as the ‘turn your head and cough’ stuff.”
Strauss was team physician for several sports, including the men’s swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, fencing and lacrosse teams, and sometimes treated athletes from other sports as well. Wrestling had the most victims, according to the report, with 48, but athletes from more than a dozen sports were sexually abused, the university said.
