Minnesota wrestling coach J Robinson notified his superiors in the athletic department when he suspected members of his team were using drugs, and requested that some of the athletes be tested, his agent said in a statement Monday night.

"In late February/early March, Coach Robinson became suspicious members of the University of Minnesota wrestling team were using drugs," James C.W. Bock said in the statement, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"Coach Robinson notified his direct supervisor within the Athletic Department of his concerns."

It is unclear who Robinson's direct supervisor is. However, the statement said he also notified interim athletic director Beth Goetz.
