Why would alpha male, macho Jim Jordan let the doctor keep abusing the kids? Dr. Feelgood??? [View all]
My guess is steroids and painkillers.
Strauss might have been providing steroids and painkillers to Jordan and his wrestlers. Jordan is a macho asshole who will lie,cheat and bully to get what he wants. If the steroids gave OSU a competitive advantage and made the team and Jordan winners I believe he would have been all-in. Painkillers are addictive and will make even the most rational person do irrational things. Jordan certainly seems like a type-A personality who would be willing to sacrifice anybody (even innocent kids) for his own cravings,advancement and glory.
The doctor probably had the coaches over a barrel. I don't blow the whistle on you and you don't blow the whistle on me. He keeps the narcotics and steroid train rolling and Jordan and the head coach turn a blind eye to his abuse.He must have had leverage on them or else he would have been let go immediately.
Just a thought.
