STORM LAKE (IRN) – An athletic trainer facing accusations of inappropriate interaction with female college students will keep his license in Iowa. The Des Moines Register reports that Richard Bingham was working at the College of Southern Idaho in 2021, when he was then placed on leave. Bingham was accused of several inappropriate actions with members of the school’s volleyball team. In June, the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licensure agreed to a disciplinary order that included educational coursework, but did not require Bingham to admit to wrongdoing. The Iowa Board of Athletic Training, citing that decision, allows Bingham to continue practicing in Storm Lake under probation for two years with supervision, but did not remove his license.
