Former Penn State orthopedic consultant Dr. Scott Lynch roams the sideline before the Michigan game at Beaver Stadium. Now, the fired football doc is fighting in Dauphin County Court.The secret report was penned by Robert Boland, then Penn State Athletics’ Integrity Officer under the Office of Ethics & Compliance.
Dr. Pete Seidenberg, who served as a primary care team physician during Franklin’s early years as head coach, testified Tuesday, backing up many of Lynch’s claims about medical meddling by Franklin and other coaches. Seidenberg testified he was one of those interviewed by Boland during his investigation, adding that he relayed specific instances of Franklin’s actions to interfere in player treatments and medical decisions to Boland.
Paterno was stopped by defense objections from detailing the legal briefing on the Boland report. But he indicated the level of detail given was not specific enough to prompt him or any other trustee to refer the matter to the NCAA. In wake of this, Mannon said she immediately contacted the health company’s lawyers. Her human resources investigation then became a joint probe with Boland, who was investigating the allegations against Franklin.
Another witness who referenced the Boland investigation was former star defensive tackle Rob Windsor, a member of the Lions’ from 2015-19, then drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. At the meeting, Windsor said Lynch “set the record straight,” telling Mutnan: “If my players are injured and they want to see me, allow them to see me.” Windsor described Mutnan as displaying a “sour demeanor” at being chastised by Lynch.
