From Fox News: Former San Jose State University volleyball co-captain Brooke Slusser is eight months removed from her final season, which included a conference investigation into an alleged plan to harm her by former teammate Blaire Fleming — a biologically male transgender athlete.
Slusser has now come forward with new allegations related to the matter.
Slusser sued the Mountain West and SJSU representatives alleging Fleming and teammates met with an opposing player at the team hotel the night before an Oct. 3 game against Colorado State.
A teammate who snuck out with Fleming told players and coaches Fleming planned to have Slusser spiked during the match in a conspiracy with the Colorado State player.
The lawsuit also claimed the players who snuck out told others they saw Fleming hand over an SJSU scouting report agreeing to throw the match in Colorado State’s favor.
The lawsuit was signed by 10 other women’s college volleyball players. Yet the Mountain West Conference concluded “sufficient evidence” could not be found after tier investigation into the allegations ended in November.
Slusser has now introduced new information that Fox News could not confirm yet.
From Fox:
Slusser claims she had a conversation with a teammate who was interviewed as part of the conference’s investigation into Fleming’s alleged plan. Fox News Digital is not disclosing the identity of the teammate.
“Based on what I was told, exactly what one of my teammates had seen go on that night — about talking about the scouting report and leaving the net open — was told to those lawyers. So, that should have been sufficient evidence [of the alleged plan by Fleming],” Slusser told the outlet. “People are telling you this happened, and it’s not second-hand information. She sat there and heard the conversation between Blaire and [former Colorado State volleyball player] Malaya [Jones]. So, to me, just from what I know without even having to dig deep into this investigation, there is sufficient evidence, and they were told sufficient evidence.”
Slusser is asking for the investigation to be reopened.
From Fox News:
Fox News Digital interviewed San Jose State athletic director Jeff Konya to inquire about Slusser’s claims and other details of the investigation. But Konya stood up after just around five minutes of related questions and walked away, saying “I’m done.”
