DiSabato, 50, said he came forward after seeing parallels to the sexual abuse scandal that imprisoned former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar . DiSabato said that he has bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and that his battles with Ohio State have exacerbated his depression. Critics question whether his past beefs with Ohio State, including it ending an apparel licensing deal with a business he had, were factors in his decision to speak up about Strauss. Ohio State won’t comment about DiSabato but has said it is grateful to alumni coming forward with allegations about Strauss. “I know I make it difficult for everyone,” he said, “but that’s what whistleblowers do.”——Follow Franko on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/kantele10 .
