宾夕法尼亚州总检察长已对布克内尔大学（Bucknell University）的力量与体能教练马克·库尔比斯提起刑事指控 [1]。该指控源于一名新生在监督训练期间发生猝死事件：2024 年 7 月，患有镰状细胞性状的新生卡尔文·迪基 Jr.（Calvin "CJ" Dickey Jr.）在经历极端体力消耗后晕倒并死亡 [1]。检方以重罪加重欺凌、轻罪过失杀人、鲁莽危害和欺凌四项罪名起诉库尔比斯 [1]。
受害者家属对这一决定表示支持，认为终于有人为儿子的死负责 [1]。卡尔文·迪基 Sr.（Calvin Dickey Sr.）在接受采访时称：“很高兴有人为儿子的死负责”[1]。针对教练方的回应，布克内尔大学代表芭芭拉·泽姆洛克（Barbara Zemlock）表示库尔比斯“没有贡献于他的死亡且不负责任”[1]。
该事件引发了关于运动员镰状细胞性状筛查及训练强度的关注 [1]。迪基的父母已成立基金会以提高公众意识，并设立了名为"50 Cal Big Man Camp"的奖学金项目 [1]。
The Pennsylvania Attorney General has filed criminal charges against Mark Kulbis, the strength and conditioning coach at Bucknell University, for his role in supervising training that led to the death of freshman Calvin "CJ" Dickey Jr. [1] Dickey passed away in July 2024 after collapsing from extreme physical exertion; he had sickle cell trait which contributed to his condition [1]. Kulbis faces charges including felony aggravated bullying, misdemeanor manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and bullying [1]. Calvin Dickey Sr., the victim's father, stated that he is glad someone has been held accountable for his son's death: "I'm happy somebody took responsibility" [1]. Conversely, Barbara Zemlock of the coaching staff asserted that Kulbis did not contribute to Dickey's death and was not negligent [1]. The incident has drawn attention to issues regarding sickle cell trait screening in athletes and training intensity levels [1]. In response to the tragedy, Dickey's parents have established a foundation dedicated to raising public awareness about these risks [1] and created a scholarship named "50 Cal Big Man Camp" for future students [1].
