Company pleads guilty to rigging city of Chicago physical exams

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
An insolvent medical testing company cut a deal with federal prosecutors Friday, agreeing to plead guilty to fraud charges for rigging physical exams that were given to more than 10,000 applicants to the Chicago Police and Fire departments.

U.S. Occupational Health faces probation and a fine of up to $1.8 million under federal sentencing guidelines. But Steve A. Miller, attorney for U.S. Occupational Health, told U.S. District Judge James Zagel the company is insolvent and unlikely to pay any fine or restitution.
