Third former Indiana University basketball player accuses team doctor of sex abuse

A third former Indiana University basketball player has alleged in a lawsuit that the team doctor sexually abused him and the school did nothing to protect him from a predator.

John Flowers joins players Haris Mujezinovic and Charlie Miller in an amended class-action lawsuit against the Indiana University Trustees. Flowers said in the lawsuit that he was subjected to at least two unnecessary prostate examinations by Dr. Bradford Bomba Sr. when he played for the Hoosiers from 1981 to 1982, according to the federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Indiana.

In addition to adding Flowers as a plaintiff, the lawsuit names longtime men’s basketball trainer Tim Garl as a defendant. It alleges that Garl was aware that Bomba was performing “invasive, harassing, and demeaning digital rectal examinations” when Garl referred players to Bomba.

“After his first physical, Flowers’s teammates told him he had ‘passed’ Dr. Bomba, Sr.’s ‘test,’ and that he would not have to undergo a digital rectal examination again,” the lawsuit says. “Garl laughed at Flowers and his freshman teammates and made jokes at their expense regarding the digital rectal examinations they endured.”
