Stanford Opening Second Probe into Water Polo Retaliation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stanford University recently cleared men’s water polo coach Brian Flacks<\/strong> of allegations of abusive behavior but is now probing reports of retaliation against his accusers, according to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Flacks was investigated last fall after complaints by parents about his treatment of student-athletes. The university\u2019s investigation, \u201cdid not substantiate the claims that were raised,\u201d per a letter sent to Flack at the conclusion of the probe. But since, parents have come forward and retained representation, alleging the Flack has been trying to rid the program of people who may have cooperated with the previous investigation.<\/p>\n
