Dupay Allegedly Shared in Gambling Winnings

Former Florida basketball player Teddy Dupay shared in winnings his friend received from a bookmaker after Dupay gave the friend inside information about whether the Gators could cover point spreads, a sworn complaint alleges.

Dupay, who was dismissed from the team last week, is listed as an uncharged codefendant in a complaint filed against Kresten Lagerman, 23, a finance major who graduated from Florida in May.

The complaint, filed by the University of Florida police department, charges Lagerman with tampering with a witness, victim or informant, and unlawful betting.

It says Dupay provided Lagerman with information that could help him determine how Florida would do against the point spread.

The report states Lagerman placed bets on professional and college basketball games, including Florida games, and shared his winnings with Dupay.

A federal appeals panel has reinstated part of Latrell Sprewell’s $30-million suit against the NBA and his former team, the Golden State Warriors.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Sprewell’s case entirely last year, but changed its mind Friday.

The panel said Sprewell, now with the New York Knicks, could sue the organizations on claims that they “intended to vilify Mr. Sprewell and prevent him from making and enforcing contracts with others because of his race.”

“I said, ‘You’re going to get me hurt out here allowing this conduct to go on,”’ Smith said in an interview. “The referee responded, ‘You play football, I’ll referee and if you get hurt, you just get hurt.”’
