The University of Minnesota Athletic Department issued a statement saying the athletes' suspension will remain in place while the criminal investigation continues.

Martinez and Steveson, one of the nation's top heavyweights and an aspiring Olympian, were arrested over the weekend in an alleged incident early Saturday. A police report gave almost no details of the allegations.

An attorney for Steveson says he denies the allegations. It was not immediately clear whether Martinez has an attorney.
