Gymnast Moceanu sues to separate from parents
HOUSTON — Gymnast Dominique Moceanu, a member of the 1996 U.S. Olympic team that won a team gold medal, is suing for independence from her parents, alleging that they squandered her fortune and oppressed her for years.
The Associated Press
Moceanu, 17, filed a state lawsuit in Houston Monday asking to be declared a legal adult so her parents can't control her or her money, the Houston Chronicle reported yesterday.
A judge signed a temporary restraining order, saying Dumitru and Camelia Moceanu must stay away from the gymnast, who ran away from their Harris County home Sunday, until a Nov. 11 hearing.
Dumitru Moceanu, who opened a gym last year, with some of his daughter's earnings, declined comment to the newspaper. His wife couldn't be reached for comment.
According to Dominique Moceanu's lawsuit, her father has wasted money she earned since turning professional at age 10.
But she told the Chronicle Tuesday that the problem is about much more than money.
"I never had a childhood," said
"Ikill myself training and going to school, and what if he doing with my money? They haven't been working since 1996. Where does their income come from? Me."

Dominique Moceau, who added that her parents fueled her Olympic dream starting at age 3. "When I went to compete when I was young, I always was in fear because I would get yelled at by my father, and I would say to myself, 'I'm 13 years old, come on,'" she said.
"Instead of talking to me, they're always yelling with me, fighting with me.
"It always had to be about the gym," she said about her relationship with her parents. "I would think, 'Don't you guys know anything besides gymnastics? Can't we go out for ice cream? Can't you be my mom and dad instead of me being your business?'
The gymnast also told the newspaper her father has hit her "a couple of times."
The gymmast and her lawyer, Roy W. Moore, both declined to say how much money she has earned or how much
has been lost. But Moore said a trust that had been set up for her is all but gone.
"I kill myself training and going to school, and what is he doing with my money?" she said. "They haven't been working since 1996. Where does their income come from? Me."
Moore said the Moceanu couple, Romanian immigrants, have refused to answer their daughter's questions about where the money has gone.
The attorney said all Dominique Moecean must prove to gain legal adult status is that she is living away from home and can support herself. Then she will be able to demand an accounting of her money through legal channels, Moore said.
Dominique Moceauan said she has been hiding from her parents for the past few days, moving from house to house to stay with friends.
NFL team sued for hazing
New Orleans Saints may be anything but
The Associated Press
LA CROSE, Wis. — The New Orleans Saints are being sued by a former player who contends he and other rookies were injured during training-campazing.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Jeff Danish in U.S. District Court in Madison and names the team, six players and an assistant coach as defendants.
The suit says the Saints knew hazing was planned by veterans for rookies because a player posted a notice about a meeting attended by defensive line coach Walt Corey.
The players on the suit are Andre Royal, Troy Davis, Brian Jones, Isaac Davis, Keith Mitchell and Brady Smith.
Rookies said that they were hit with a bag of coins. Tight end Cam Cleeland was left with blurred vision in one eye and center Andy McCullough with a bloody rose.
The rookies with pillowcases over their heads ran a gauntlet between lines of veterans Aug. 20, the final day of training by the Saints at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
Danish, a 23-year-old defensive tackle from Richmond, N.Y., broke his hand in a dormitory window and required 14 stitches to his left arm and hand, the lawsuit says. He said he was hit with a bag of coins and was punched, kicked and elbowed.
The Saints said in September they were unable to identify the 20 to 25 players who formed the gauntlet and had not been able to fine or punish them.
Saints general manager Bill Kuharich said at the time that "while everyone understands this incident was dangerous and in violation of club policy, we see no further action that can be taken by the club based on the investigation."
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliahue said Sept. 19 the league found "no basis for the commissioner to take league disciplinary action."
Danish said the hazing violated NFL regulations against physical abuse of players. His lawsuit also alleges violations of federal, state and local laws.
Despite injuries from the hazing, it says. Danish was required to continue practices, then was waived before his injuries could heal.
His lawsuit seeks $650,000 in damages for lost wages, impaired future earnings capacity, pain and suffering, humiliation and loss of enjoyment of life.
