[quote]Rep. [b]Jim Jordan[/b], the powerful Republican congressman from Ohio, [b]is being accused by former wrestlers he coached[/b] more than two decades ago at Ohio State University [b]of failing to stop the team doctor from molesting them and other students[/b].

The university announced in April that it was investigating accusations that Dr. Richard Strauss, who died in 2005, abused team members when he was the team doctor from the mid-1970s to late 1990s.

[b]Jordan[/b], who was assistant wrestling coach at the university from 1986 to 1994, [b]has repeatedly said he knew nothing of the abuse[/b] until former students began speaking out this spring. His denials, however, have been met with skepticism and anger from some former members of the wrestling team.

Three former wrestlers told NBC News that it was common knowledge that Strauss showered regularly with the students and inappropriately touched them during appointments, and said it would have been impossible for Jordan to be unaware; one [b]wrestler said he told Jordan directly about the abuse.[/b][/quote]

Slimy GOP and and its slimier congressmen![/quote]
