In the wake of last week’s news of an investigation into the conduct of members of the Air Force lacrosse team, the Academy has announced that several individuals involved with the team have been suspended.

Additionally, sources tell Inside Lacrosse that the suspended parties include the entire coaching staff and members of the team in the senior and junior classes. A source tells IL that freshmen and sophomores are not suspended and are able to practice informally. An athletic department spokesman could not confirm that inquiry, citing that the investigation is still on-going.

However, the spokesman provided IL with this statement:

“Last week we announced that there was an ongoing investigation into the conduct of several individuals on the Academy's Lacrosse team.

Based on preliminary indications, some members of the team and coaches have been put into an inactive status and will not participate in group lacrosse activities or inter-collegiate competition, until further notice. These actions are effective today and may be revisited as the investigation progresses.

Because that investigation is ongoing, we cannot disclose any further information.

The Air Force Academy holds its cadets, staff and faculty to the highest standards of conduct because our nation demands it of us and it's the right thing to do. Taking care of each other is one of our top priorities and we go to great lengths to provide a culture rooted in the core principles of human dignity and respect.”
