Man, for a group of people who spend most of there time putting Gretz on a pedastal, you guys are sure quick to crucify his ass. No one not involved in the investigation even knows if the wiretap crap is even real, as every report I've seen quoted an anonymous source speaking about alleged wiretaps. No official source has come fourth to confirm this, and Gretzky has NOT admitted to knowing anything about the illegal activity. His only statement to the media has been that he has not, now or ever, placed any bets on sports, and that he feels bad for Tocchet and his wife.
And as far as I've read, the case is concentrating primarily on the organizers of the ring, and their involvement with organized crime. Anyone who simply placed bets with the group will only be expected to testify about the ring, and not charged with any crime.
As we have seen with many unsubstantiated stories, especially of late (Iraq War, New Orleans Disaster, Floods in the North Easterns States), the truth can be far from what has actually been reported by the media. So before you go stringing Gretzky up by his skate laces, how about waiting for the complete story to come out from people who actually know what the hell they are talking about, and not just looking to boost ratings.
