一 | A former Ohio State University student-athlete is speaking out against Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for House speaker, saying Jordan "turned a blind eye" to allegations of abuse against a team doctor during his time as assistant coach for the university's wrestling team.Rocky Ratliff is now an attorney who also represents several other former OSU wrestlers in an ongoing lawsuit against the university."I think the wrestlers that I represent, not one of us, would back him for such a leadership position," Ratliff told ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.He continued, "He's abandoned us for his own selfish reasons when he could have helped us. He's chosen not to. So that is not the good makings of any type of leadership or any type of leader that he would have put up with at Ohio State. It's just not. None of us wrestlers believe he should get that position."A spokesperson for Jordan, R-Ohio, told ABC News, "Chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it."The allegations of abuse were against Dr. Richard Strauss, an Ohio State team doctor and sports medicine researcher. Strauss is accused of sexually abusing at least 177 men over an 18-year period from 1979 to 1997 -- nearly his entire time at Ohio State, according to an independent report released in 2019.Investigators determined that university officials ignored nearly two decades of accusations of sexual abuse against Strauss, who killed himself in 2006 at age 67, seven years after retiring from the university.The accusations of abuse involved athletes from at least 16 sports including wrestling, hockey and swimming, and included Strauss' work at the student health center and an off-campus clinic that he founded late in his tenure, according to the report.The university removed Strauss as a school physician in 1996 after a flurry of student complaints and reported his actions to the State Medical Board of Ohio. However, the school allowed Strauss to retain his tenured faculty position while he operated an off-campus clinic, where the report says he continued to abuse students.Ohio State University has since admitted that it failed to protect students from Strauss, paying out $60 million in settlements to some 296 victims.Jordan, who was an assistant coach on the team from 1986 to 1994, came under fire in 2018 when several former OSU wrestlers took their allegations against Strauss to the media and claimed Jordan was aware of Strauss' inappropriate behavior and failed to report it. The university then announced it was opening an investigation into the allegations against Strauss.Jordan also denied knowing about the abuse when the allegations first came out in 2018.Jordan is now facing renewed scrutiny amid the ongoing battle for House speaker. After again failing to receive enough GOP support, the congressman and chair of the House Judiciary Committee was defeated a second time after a vote on Wednesday afternoon."We believe very strongly, especially all the wrestlers that were there at the time, that Jim Jordan knew what was going on," Ratliff said on Wednesday.Ratliff continued, "Jordan should come forward and tell the truth about what happened. At least meet with the guys. He's failed to do that -- to hear our side, he's failed. You know, even if you believe what Jim Jordan says, he has never once reached out to any wrestler to say, 'Hey, I missed it. I'm sorry. How are you feeling?'"ABC News' Eric Ortega, Imtiyaz Delawala, Lindsey Griswold, and Andrea Amiel contributed to this report.。 香港8月19日电（郭辛）香港机场管理局19日宣布，与卡塔尔航空货运签署谅解备忘录，进一步加强香港国际机场与卡塔尔航空货运的全球航空网络联系，提升双方航空发展合作。 机管局表示，签署谅解备忘录深化了卡塔尔航空货运与香港国际机场的合作伙伴关系。目前，卡塔尔航空货运在香港国际机场的业务持续增长，每周运营约56班货运航班，利用货机及客机腹舱运力，连接香港国际机场及其全球货运航点网络。19日起，卡塔尔航空货运已将其地区总部迁至香港。 香港特区政府运输及物流局局长陈美宝表示，卡塔尔航空货运选择在香港设立区域办事处，充分反映了航空公司对香港作为国际航空枢纽的信心与肯定。香港与卡塔尔在航空领域一直保持良好合作基础，该备忘录极具战略意义，将把双方的伙伴关系推向新高度。 香港机管局行政总裁张李佳蕙表示，机管局与卡塔尔航空货运签署谅解备忘录，展现了双方共同致力于透过香港国际机场提升航空服务及网络联系。机管局将继续积极吸引并与不同航空公司深化合作，进一步加强香港国际机场的航空网络联系及竞争优势。 卡塔尔航空货运货运销售高级副总裁埃里克·威尔逊表示，集团通过在香港设立区域办事处并深化与机管局的合作，将有利于进一步把全球网络与亚洲及粤港澳大湾区充满活力的市场紧密联结起来。
