ERIC OLSON Associated Press One of the state agencies involved in the ongoing investigation of alleged sports wagering violations by Iowa and Iowa State athletes announced Thursday no evidence had been discovered to suggest the integrity of any contest involving the schools was affected by gambling interests.
The seven athletes are suspected of combining for more than 5,000 wagers totaling more than $100,000 that were placed between January 2021 through May 2023. Integrity issues in wagering could range from a bettor having inside information about injuries or a team's strategy that could affect the outcome to point shaving and match fixing.
The athletes charged in addition to Dekkers and Ulis are Iowa State football players Dodge Sauser and Eyioma Uwazurike, ISU wrestler Paniro Johnson, Iowa baseball player Gehrig Christensen and Iowa football player Aaron Blom.
