A major sports gambling scandal with a nice, neat and quick conclusion. No mess, no fuss. Does that pass the smell test?The ATP World Tour, the men's tennis tour, is trying to slip one past you. Ted Forstmann, the CEO of IMG (pictured), bet on tennis. He allegedly called Roger Federer, an IMG client who Forstmann says is a friend, before a match and got inside information.
And apparently, there is no investigation; not of Forstmann, not of Federer. None of tennis' governing bodies has even bothered to call the guy making the accusation, while the things he has said keep turning out to be true.
I'm calling B.S. on the ATP. There is no way this was within the rules. So why is the ATP letting it go?
Maybe Gavin Forbes knows. He's a Senior Vice President at IMG.
Maybe David Egdes knows. He's an executive at the Tennis Channel, which is partially owned by IMG. He also used to work for IMG.
