Woman Cons Cheerleaders With Fake Camp - It's something every high school cheerleader we've ever known looked forward to: cheerleading camp! A chance to learn new obnoxious cheers, pull pranks on rival schools, and bond with your squad. Unfortunately for the gals at North Chicago High School, the New Orleans woman who took $4500 from them for a camp, ran off with the money instead. Dionne Bazil is charged with three counts of wire fraud and computer fraud for the spring 2004 incident. Where did the girls get their money? From countless fundraisers and money-making events and now it's all gone. (Lake County News Sun)

Bizarre Charges Against Ice Skating Coach: Lawsuit Claims He Insisted Girl Weigh Herself Naked, and Allow Him to Pluck Her . . . Chest Hairs? - We certainly have had our share of bad coaches on this site. But few come close to the allegations made in a lawsuits against former ice skating coach Bob Young. According to a suit by former skater Emilie Nussear, Young watched her shower in his bathroom, and would occasionally remove her shirt and--we're not making this up--pluck her chest hairs. (Is excessive hair growth on the chest area a problem for female skaters?) He also allegedly ordered that she not wear a bra, but if she did, she had to show it to him first. And if that wasn't bad enough. Young, the suit claims, "showed her pictures of naked men, asked her if she had ever masturbated and offered to help her if she had questions about sex."

Cheerleader Tryouts Turn Ugly as Parents Arrested for Threatening Coach When Daughter's Not Selected as Head Cheerleader - As parents, you want what's best for your kids. And you certainly want to help them any way you can. So, if your daughter wants to be head cheerleader at say, Fort Payne High School (Alabama) you'd send her to gymnastics classes or maybe get her a private cheerleading coach. And, during open tryouts, you might also want to give her words of encouragement and if she fails, you'd threaten the squad coach and swear like a drunken sailor. Wait, what? According to police, parents Tracie Lynn Eyman and James Robert Eyman allegedly lost control when their little girl wasn't--as they had apprently expected--selected as the head cheerleader and ". . . used some profanity and allegedly made threats against the person in charge of selection on cheerleaders." And it all happened in front of other students and parents. They have both be arrested under a new harassment law in Alabama that makes it a crime for harassing, menacing or assaulting a sports official, including coaches and sponsors. (WAFF)

When Coaches/Parents Attack! 18-year-old Kateryna Zubkova--who swims for the Ukrainian team--failed to qualify for the final of the 50 meter backstroke during the Swimming World Championships in Melbourne this week. And, as if losing wasn't bad enough, she was confronted after the race by her coach/father Mikhail Zubkov, 38 and the two of them got into it  . . . ON LIVE TV. (Watch the clip below.) Mr. Zubkov has since been banned from coming within 200 meters of his own daughter. It's also the second incident this week involving an Eastern European coach. Russian diving coach Vladimir Rulev, 56, pleaded not guilty to indecent assault  on Tuesday after allegedly groping a female hotel security guard. (Metro)

Soccer Fans Banned for Throwing . . . Celery? -  According to Wikipedia, for more than 20 years fans of the Chelsea Football Club have been known to sing a saucy song in which they suggest they might use a "lump of celery" in order to tickle a lady's behind. Part of the song goes: "Celery, Celery, If she don't come, we'll tickle her bum with a lump of celery." At that point, the green vegetable is throw around the stands. Apparently, several weeks ago, referees complained about the leafy projectiles and the club warned fans not to throw them. Three Chelsea fans ignored that order and have now been banned from attending games. The club warned fans again that they could face sanctions and fans could face criminal charges for the offense and offered a telephone number for fans to call if they see somebody throwing celery. Oh yeah, that'll work. (Toronto Star)

Honk, Honk! Russian Diving Coach Grabs Breast of Hotel Security Guard - What's with it with the grabbing of the breasts lately? 
Would it shock you to know that Vladimir Rulev, 56 was drunk at the time? According to Australian police, the inebriated Rulev--in town for the World Swimming Championships--was being escorted back to his hotel room in Melbourne by a night duty manager and female security guard. As he got out of the elevator he grabbed the guard's ID card and then gave one of her breasts a squeeze. As a result, he will be charged with indecent assault and unlawful assault. Very nice!

New Hate Mail Regarding Penn State Initiation Pics
This rant showed up in our mailbox yesterday from Jason C York.

This is in regard to your article about PSU hazing. 
I am honestly disgusted that you think that this is by any sense of the word hazing. They only reason that you feel that this is news is because it involves athletes. What about rushing for a frat or sorority? Have you ever been to a college party? edward forty-hands is quite a common drinking game. 
But what gets me more is, did you get consent from the webshot publishers of these pictures to use them on your site? I am quite sure that these people would not have willingly allowed for your site to use their pictures. Also, the white boxes, it is just one of the many applications of Adobe Photoshop. So how are we the readers to know that the person that was perusing all these college girls webshots( i believe him to be a petafile. Who sits around all day and looks through college girls' webshots?) did not tamper with these pictures to make his allegations a truth? The only things that are going wrong in these alleged pictures are that the people, if they are whom they are portrayed to be, are consuming alcohol under the age of 21. 
Your site is frankly pathetic. You and other forms of media/press are horrible. You look to make something out of nothing to make a name for yourself. Yes these athletes are always in the public's eye. But allow them to experience life without you looking through it with a fine toothed comb. How would you feel if everything you did was placed under the microscope and displayed for the rest of the world to see? 

Dear Jason:
The actions in these pics appear to violate both the PSU hazing policy and Penn. state law, which is why the. We don't post pics of Greek hazing because that's not what this site is about . . . although there are plenty of pictures out there if someone wants to start one. The pics were altered by us, but we saw the originals and have several in our possession, so they were not Photoshopped or tampered with.  And as far as the source of these pics being a "petafile" . . . we won't even comment on such an outrageous claim.

HS Hockey Championship Game Ends in Brawl After Fan Grabs Own Groin, Exposes Genitals to Opposing Fans - Nothing says "fun" at a high school hockey game like taunting the opposing fans by waving your junk at them. Police from three different jurisdictions had to be called when a brawl broke out last week after at the Brother Adelard Arena during a state Division II semifinal hockey game between Cumberland and Smithfield high schools in Rhode Island. According to cops, the incident started when a Smithfield High School student grabbed his groin and exposed his genitals to Cumberland High School fans. An off-duty security officer working the event ordered the teen out of the arena, but when he informed the officer that he needed a ride home, the cop made him sit with him for the rest of the game. Mistake! Before the knew it, the officer was surrounded by 15 Cumberland students and words were exchanged. The cop then tried to move everyone outside the arena, which only resulted in more fights, at times involving between 50 to 75 people in the lobby with "several fights simultaneously breaking out." So far, only one 17-year-old Cumberland High School student has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. (Woonsocket Call)

HS Golf Team Wedgie Hazing Sends Boy to Hospital - Remember hazing? That great "right of passage" that some of you believe so strongly in and repeatedly write us to complain about our coverage of it because "no on gets hurt?" Well, pull up a chair for this one. A freshmen member of the Charlton County High School (Georgia) golf team was riding on the team bus last week when he overheard members of the varsity asking each other, "Who's it going to be?" Next thing the kid knew, these two golfers had him suspended upside down by his underwear and the proceeded to punch him in the stomach and groin. Afterwards the boy could barely walk and his mom claims he cried in pain for nearly 30 minutes . . . all while a coach was present on the bus. Afterwards, concerned about a severe contusion the boy had received as a result of the wedgie, she took him to the emergency room. According to the mom, "It was so extreme it ripped his boxer shorts in two." Yikes! As a result of a police investigation, Charlton County cops arrested the two boys who allegedly did the damage and charged them with simple battery. (Local 6)
