Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands says officials are still trying to determine which fan directed a racial slur toward a Wisconsin wrestler. Badger 149 pounder Austin Gomez claims he was the victim of a slur after posting a 3-2 win over Vince Turk.

Brands says Iowa officials reached out to Gomez to discuss the issue.
