Three former members of the Indiana men's basketball team have accused former team doctor Bradford Bomba Sr., 88, of sexually abusing them during their playing days.
Haris Mujezinovic and Charlie Miller originally filed a lawsuit against Bomba in October, and John Flowers joined the suit this week.
Flowers, who played for the Hoosiers in 1981 and 1982, said he was subject to at least two unnecessary prostate exams.

Longtime trainer Tim Garl is now listed as a defendant, as Flowers said Garl was aware of Bomba's "invasive, harassing, and demeaning digital rectal examinations."
"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 states, via CBS Sports. "Garl laughed at Flowers and his freshman teammates and made jokes at their expense regarding the digital rectal examinations they endured."
The university officially declined comment but sent a statement from September that said the school was conducting its own independent review on the matter.
The players' attorney, Kathleen Delaney, said Bomba may have sexually abused at least 100 male athletes during his time at the school. Neither Garl nor Bomba's attorney responded to a request for comment.
Bomba pleaded the fifth during a deposition last month.
Mujezinovic and Miller, who played under coach Bobby Knight in the 1990s, also alleged that Bomba conducted prostate exams that were not necessary.

"Dr. Bomba, Sr.’s routine sexual assaults were openly discussed by the Hoosier men’s basketball players in the locker room in the presence of IU employees, including assistant coaches, athletic trainers, and other Hoosier men’s basketball staff," the lawsuit said, via NBC News.
"I’m standing up for all student-athletes who have suffered abuse," Mujezinovic said in a statement. "I hope that more of our former teammates will speak out and share their stories publicly."
"I will never understand why IU leadership did nothing to protect us from what I now understand was sexual abuse," Miller said.
Added Flowers, "I am proud to stand up on behalf of my former teammates and other IU basketball players to seek justice for the sexual abuse we endured as members of the Hoosiers."
Bomba was employed by the university from 1962 to 1970, and again from 1979 until the late '90s.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed goalie Tristan Jarry to a five-year, $28.875 million contract in July 2023.
Just 18 months later, the team placed Jarry on waivers.
The two-time All-Star goalie has struggled this season, going 8-7-4 with a goals against average of 3.32 and a .886 save percentage.

The 29-year-old goalie has had an issue with slow starts, giving up a goal on an opponent’s first shot six times this season.
In the Penguins' 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, Jarry allowed a shorthanded goal on the second shot he saw.
Jarry struggled last season as well, going 19-25-5 with a goals against average of 2.91 and a save percentage of .903.
Despite struggling last season, Jarry did lead the NHL in shutouts with six. This season, Jarry had yet to record a shutout.
Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas said Jarry continued to put in the work, but the results did not materialize.

"He’s continued to come in here, put the work in and that’s not been a question at all. That just hasn’t materialized the way would like it to on the ice. At this level, you get to the point where you have to do what’s right … for him and for us," Dubas said via the Penguins post on X.
The Penguins, like Jarry, have struggled this season, as they are 18-20-8 with 44 points in 46 games and are not currently in a playoff position.
They are trailing the Columbus Blue Jackets by four points for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Due to Jarry’s contract, it will be unlikely a team picks him up on waivers, making it possible for him to be reassigned to the American Hockey League.
Jarry has spent his entire nine-year career with the Penguins, and has a career save percentage of .910 and a career goals average against of 2.74.
Goalies Alex Nedeljkovic (7-7-4, .886 save percentage in 19 games) and rookie Joel Blomqvist (3-5-0, .904 save percentage in eight games) are the Penguins' two goalies, assuming they don’t bring in another option.
The Penguins’ next game is on the road against the Buffalo Sabres at 7 p.m. ET on Friday.

The Dallas Cowboys reportedly have their eyes set on former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who was let go by owner Woody Johnson just five games into the season.
The Cowboys mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Mike McCarthy on Monday after his contract with the team expired just last week. The decision not to bring McCarthy back came as a surprise to some after he reportedly turned down the Chicago Bears’ request to interview him following the season.
McCarthy had a 49-35 record in Dallas. Despite going 7-10 this season, he led the Cowboys to the playoffs with a 12-5 record in three straight seasons.

Still, Jones chose to go in a different direction.
That direction appears to be in favor of ex-Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
The team is expected to interview Saleh, which would be their first "known request," according to the NFL Network.

Saleh, who previously served as the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, has an interview scheduled with the Las Vegas Raiders and is considered the favorite for the vacancy with the Jacksonville Jaguars, replacing Doug Pederson.
The Jets went 2-3 this season under Saleh before he was fired and replaced by interim head coach and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. The team’s struggles only continued to worsen despite the change, leading to another missed playoff season.
Saleh had a 20-36 record with two different quarterbacks: first round pick Zach Wilson and four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Other names mentioned in the Cowboys’ search for a new head coach have included former players Deion Sanders and Jason Witten.
