In 1975, Tad Deluca was a young wrestler at the University of Michigan. One night, he went down the hall with a friend to visit with a football player. The topic of the athletic department team doctor Dr. Robert Anderson came up.
The player told a story about a fellow player going to see Anderson for a sore shoulder — "He said, 'He got the glove,'' Deluca said Thursday morning.
That was it for Deluca, who had a shoulder that kept dislocating and knew every time he went to the doctor he would get an unnecessary rectal exam and testicular exam.
