Air Force is under investigation now by an Inspector General after allegations have surfaced that the football team has been involved in drug use and sexual abuse. A report has come out of the Colorado Post Gazette that details alleged breaking of the honor code, including using “roofies” on women at a party:
“The girls’ drink, or Captain Morgan with the blue lid, was only for girls to drink,”[Office of Special Investigations] confidential informant cadet Eric Thomas told investigators in a written statement obtained by The Gazette. The blue-capped bottle, he explained, was laced with “roofies,” a street term for flunitrazepam, a powerful sedative known as a date-rape drug.
Thomas told investigators that “four or five females did not recall what occurred the following day after the party.”
In one bedroom during the party, “multiple male cadets had sexual intercourse with other unknown females,” Thomas alleged.
If these allegations are true, things are likely to get much worse for everyone involved. There is no place for this stuff anywhere, let alone in a branch of the military. I am sure more details will come out in the weeks ahead.
