Wrestler Claims Coach Threatened Him About Contracting MRSA
July 21, 2010 /
Former American University heavyweight Adam LoPiccolo has filed a federal lawsuit against the school, its former interim athletic director, and head wrestling coach Mark Cody, alleging the coach lied to and mistreated him by informing the wrestler if he told the truth about contracting Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from wrestling while injured, he “could kiss his scholarship good bye.”
The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, names American, the university’s Board of Trustees, former Interim Athletic Director Robert Acunto, and Mark Cody as defendants. LoPiccolo seeks damages in excess of $75,000 on claims of breach of contract, breach of faith, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault and negligence.
