ON LEAVE

-

Iowa football strength and conditioni­ng coach Chris Doyle was placed on administra­tive leave Saturday after social media posts from black athletes described a culture of systemic racism in the program. Head coach Kirk Ferentz announced the creation of an advisory committee to address “a call for a cultural shift.” Doyle put a statement on Twitter on Sunday denying what former players said: “At no time have I ever crossed the line of unethical behavior or bias based on race.”
