Indiana University (IU) announced an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior against IU Athletics Hall of Fame member and former team physician Brad Bomba Sr. according to a press release Wednesday.
At least one former men’s basketball player has come forward.
“The former student-athlete alleges he was subjected to inappropriate prostate and rectal exams during annual physicals with Dr. Bomba, Sr., something that he also alleges was a practice for all basketball student-athletes assigned to Dr. Bomba, Sr. for physical examinations,” the release said.
Bomba played football at Indiana from 1954-56 before becoming a contracted physician for IU’s sports teams from 1962-1970. In 1979, Bomba was hired as Indiana’s men’s basketball physician and maintained the position through the late 1990s. He was inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1994.
“To be clear, this is a fully independent and comprehensive investigation that will follow the facts,” according to the release. “To protect the integrity of the investigation, the institution will refrain from further comment while the review is ongoing.”
