DURHAM, N.C. - DNA testing failed to connect any members of the Duke University lacrosse team to the alleged rape of a stripper, attorneys for the athletes said Monday.
Citing DNA test results delivered by the state crime lab to police and prosecutors a few hours earlier, the attorneys said the test results prove their clients did not sexually assault and beat a stripper hired to perform at a March 13 team party.
No charges have been filed in the case.

The allegations have led to the resignation of coach Mike Pressler, the cancellation of the lacrosse season and the suspension of one player from school. [my em]

So what about this guy's career? What about the players and their careers, academic and athletic? Just asking; being they'll have to explain it for the rest of their lives. I mean, a lot was said before we had proof of anything, just someone's word that she was attacked by these men. Not saying she wasn't attacked and/or raped (and I'm certainly not saying these guys were chior boys), but those responsible should pay. A lot of harm has been done to innocent people before any evidence came to light. Maybe we should take a deep breath before piling on next time?
