Gretzky Knew About Gambling

To be clear - there is no accusation he gambled or knew of the gambling at the time. The accusation is that he attempted to cover it up. The problem, though, is that this is what people get in trouble for all the time (e.g., Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, etc.). Assuming it's true, it's good that it doesn't appear that he did anything under oath.

I thought I read somewhere that there is some belief that his wife was placing the bets, but on his behalf. Basically to keep his hands clean. If that's the case, damn.

OK - that's news to me. He's definitely in trouble if that's the case. I mean like Pete Rose trouble.
