LeCharles Bentley Suing Browns Over Staph

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

[quote]CLEVELAND – Former Cleveland Browns center LeCharles Bentley sued the team on Thursday over a career-ending staph infection he says he contracted at the team's training facility.

Bentley's attorney, Shannon Polk, said the lawsuit filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court seeks at least $25,000 in damages for alleged fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Bentley could seek more money in court.
Polk said Bentley nearly died from the infection while he was rehabbing from a knee injury.

"They told him their facility was the best," Polk said. "But they never told him about a host of unsanitary conditions there. And they never told him about the list of others who contracted staph before he chose to rehab there."

Joe Jurevicius and LeCharles Bentley aren't the only ones who have a legitimate claim, as I remember the Browns had even more documented cases of staph infection a couple of years ago. There's probably more unpublicized cases from guys who didn't make the team or chose not to go public.

The staph breakout was just one of the many signs that showed the Browns organization had problems from top to bottom.
