Four more defendants with connections to Michigan State University were named Wednesday in the ongoing federal lawsuit against the school and former MSU sports doctor Larry Nassar.

The Lansing State Journal reports they include Dr. William Strampel, dean of the university’s School of Osteopathic Medicine, former women’s gymnastics coach Kathy Klages, sports doctor Jeff Kovan and former MSU psychologist Dr. Gary Stollak. 

The amended complaint---filed by Okemos-based law firm Church-Wyble---also named John Geddert of Dimondale’s ‘Twistars’ gymnastics club. 

Church-Wyble attorney David Mittleman told the paper that Strampel was added because he allegedly failed to share information with staff and patients about stricter protocols involving Nassar.
