Jim jordan ohio state wrestling coach

A former Ohio State University student-athlete is speaking out against Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for House speaker, saying Jordan "turned a blind eye" to allegations of abuse against a team doctor during his time as assistant coach for the university's wrestling team.

Rocky Ratliff is now an attorney who also represents several other former OSU wrestlers in an ongoing lawsuit against the university.

"I think the wrestlers that I represent, not one of us, would back him for such a leadership position," Ratliff told ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.

He continued, "He's abandoned us for his own selfish reasons when he could have helped us.

He's chosen not to. So that is not the good makings of any type of leadership or any type of leader that he would have put up with at Ohio State.
