says he didn’tRep. Jim Jordan, with Republican staff attorney Steve Castor, back right, speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2020. Jordan has pushed back on allegations that he knew of abuse of athletes by a former Ohio State University doctor when Jordan was a wrestling coach. to become the next speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives following the ouster of California’s Kevin McCarthy. Cleveland.
Here are former wrestlers who say Jordan was aware of abuse, and other wrestlers and coaches who say he wasn’t aware of improprieties:Michael DiSabato, who wrestled at Ohio State from 1987 to 1991, was among the first people to claim Jordan knew about Strauss’ abuse.he was first assaulted by Strauss as a 14-year-old freshman at Bishop Ready High School, when Strauss went to the school to conduct “body fat tests” on its wrestlers.
“For me this is personal because it’s a lie he keeps telling that he didn’t know,” Yetts told the network. “If you’re saying you didn’t know your guys were being assaulted by a team doctor and you found that out in a report, the first thing out of your mouth shouldn’t be ‘I was vindicated.’ If I knew one of my brothers was assaulted, the first thing I would do is run across the country and say ‘I’m sorry this happened to you.’”Strauss groped him a half dozen times.
Range told the publication he never discussed the issue directly with Jordan, one on one, and did not know whether anyone made a formal report, but he said Jordan was present during group conversations in the locker room about Strauss’ behavior. “I don’t want to be part of something that’s getting Jim out of office,” he said. “I don’t even like the idea of it. I do find it surprising that he would even take that approach.”Strauss masturbated while staring at him in the shower. The referee says he told Jordan about the incident in 1994 or 1995, but Jordan brushed it off.
“I believe Jim Jordan is telling the truth in that he did not think or know we were in danger,” Alf told the network. “If he had known, he would have acted.”it was unfathomable that Jordan would have turned a blind eye to alleged abuse, recalling that Jordan once picked up and carried the much-heavier Pardos after he severely injured his knee and once checked a teammate into a drug rehabilitation center.
“I am writing in support of Jim Jordan. I wrestled at The Ohio State University for Coach Jordan in the years 1993 to 1998. The allegations that Jim Jordan acted inappropriately are 100% false. Jim Jordan is an ethical, outstanding man.” - Rob Archer, an OSU wrestler from 1993 to 1998 and currently“I am writing this email in support of Jim Jordan. I wrestled at Ohio State from 1994-1999 when Jim was an assistant coach.
“I never once heard a teammate say that they had been violated by Dr. Strauss. Any accusation that the coaching staff overlooked or turned a blind eye to wrongful actions by him is just wrong. I have known Jim Jordan for 45 years. Not only was Jim a great wrestling coach, but he has also consistently proven to be a man of highest integrity and certainly would not have turned his back on any wrong-doing.
“From the first day I met Jim Jordan as a student-athlete, he has been the most honorable man I have ever known and my respect and admiration for all he has done and accomplished is at the very highest level.
