Athletes Claim COVID-19 Cover-Up

A number of Colorado State University athletes claim they've been told to keep quiet about any COVID-19 symptoms or suffer the consequences ... this according to a bombshell report.

The allegations are part of a lengthy investigation by The Coloradoan, where 10 anonymous players and staff members allege the school is trying to downplay the pandemic to keep the season alive.

An anonymous player told the outlet coaches instructed the team to not tell trainers if they are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms ... and if they did, they would lose playing time.

"I think everybody could be doing a better job,'' the football player says.
