Hebert Calls Federal Bribery Crackdown On Sports
Rep. Ed Hebert of Louisiana urged Congress to make bribery of athletes a federal offense to end gambling and fixers in pro and amateur sports. He will introduce bills after Jan. 3, targeting DC and the nation, modeled after New York anti-bribery law, arguing sport is big business and interstate commerce. The measure aims to protect athletes and fans from fixers amid the Giants Bears playoff context. Hebert, a former sports writer, notes sports reflect the American way of life and deserve safeguards against chiseling operators.
