TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) _ The FBI says point-shaving allegations
against a former University of Toledo basketball player are related
to gambling charges filed last year against a former Toledo
football player.
Sammy Villegas (vih-JAY'-guhs), a guard who finished his college
career in 2006, is accused of shaving points in games during the
2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. The allegations by federal prosecutors
became known last week.
Running back Harvey ``Scooter'' McDougle Junior was charged in
April 2007 with participating in a bribery scheme to influence
sporting contests. A month later, those charges were dropped, but
the investigation continued.
A university spokesman last week described the cases as isolated
incidents.
