Former Louisville basketball player says "strippers" were just girls dancing in bathing suits

And the plot thickens ... or at least gets even weirder.

In the wake of a WDRB report quoting a former Louisville basketball player as saying that strippers were in the players' dorm on at least one occasion, another former player is speaking out and saying that these young women didn't even fit the description of being "strippers" at all.

The former player, who played during the years in question, spoke to ESPN.com under the condition of anonymity. He said he didn't know who contacted the strippers and that their presence wasn't announced to the entire team.
