Shoulberg would "pit" another swimmer, identified as "A.L." in court documents, against Doe. As a result, A.L. began to abuse Doe mentally and physically, and threatened to sodomize him. Doe was hit and punched in the locker room, slammed into walls, and kicked and kneed in the stomach and genital area. His nipples were twisted, his chest hair was ripped out, and he was urinated upon. On one occasion, other team members had to pull A.L. off Doe and hold him down until he was under control, the suit says.
