Chargers | Players under investigation for shoe fraud

Wed, 20 Dec 2006 07:26:15 -0800

Jay Paris, of the North County Times, reports members of the San Diego Chargers are being investigated for potential fraud, after a potential scheme to import imitation athletic shoes from China was reportedly uncovered by the Drug Enforcement Agency, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official. DEA officials initially grew suspicious upon learning the players were sending a significant amount of money to China. The DEA suspected it was investigating a steroid-smuggling case. However, the focus changed when the agency speculated the money was for imitation athletic shoes that would be sold as name-brand merchandise in the U.S. Once the steroid angle was removed, the case was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Do these athletes not have enough money?
