The University of Michigan Athletic Department and head coach for swimming and diving Mike Bottom announced Friday in a news release that the upperclassmen of the men's program have been suspended following a violation of team rules.

“What is clear at this point is that the upperclassmen on the men’s swimming and diving team acted in a manner that was inconsistent with our rules, policies and expectations for a student-athlete at Michigan,” Dave Brandon, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics, said in a statement. “We have suspended them from all team activities for a period of one week’s time.”

Further information was not immediately available. U-M said in a news release that it would have no further comment and any additional disciplinary action will be handled within the team.
