Not talkin' bout fans or darkwing list lurkers. They don't have any money at stake.
Track & Field athletes who've been pulling down six or seven figure incomes, and their coaches and assorted hangers-on have a lot at stake. Other professional sports stars have even more at stake. Conte has a HUGE amount at stake. Why wouldn't some creep that Conte doesn't even know call him up and offer his "services"? Kobe Bryant was above board enough to immediately call in the FBI. Let's hope it doesn't progress to hit men or gang bangers trying to horn in, or if they do let's hope that all parties will choose to take the high road. But in today's violent society I'm no longer surprised at anything. Don't forget the allegations that a Russian mafia figure was behind the Salt Lake City judging scandal. It's all about money.
