The FBI has concluded that there was no reason to investigate allegations that five members of the Dallas Cowboys fixed games in the early 1980s in exchange for cocaine, the former head of Dallas’ FBI office said.
“It’s a non-issue. It’s over with,” Thomas Kelly, former Dallas agent in charge, told the Miami News this week.
Charges against the Cowboys were forwarded to the Dallas FBI office in February, 1983, by a former agent in Miami who has since pleaded guilty to drug-related charges.
The inquiry was strictly an internal FBI matter, and no one in the Cowboy organization was a subject of a criminal investigation, the FBI said.
