Hennepin County prosecutors have declined to file charges against 14 University of Minnesota wrestlers involved in the alleged sale and use of Xanax — a prescription sedative.
The wrestling team’s drug activity is the latest in a slew of less-than-savory incidents that have befallen the University’s athletics department.
Over the years, the program has been accused of academic fraud, questionable commitment to gender equity, sexual harassment by coaches and administrators, and $200,000 worth of reckless overspending.
