Washington State finds no abuse by Leach

Washington State announced Wednesday that it found no evidence of physical or emotional abuse by head football coach Mike Leach as alleged by wide receiver Marquess Wilson when he left the program this season.

The athletic department completed an internal review of the WSU football program, and found "no report or detection of abuse or inappropriate behavior on the part of Leach or his staff."

The investigation was done by four members of athletic department, and included interviews with a dozen players.

Wilson left the program after a "vigorous" Sunday conditioning workout the day after a loss. Wilson had released a letter to the media in which he levied the allegations, but athletic director Bill Moos claimed in the report that Wilson texted him later and recanted the allegations of abuse.
