Disgraced ex-NBA ref Donaghy to officiate for wrestling promotion
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy has agreed to appear as an official for Major League Wrestling, according to Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso.
"If there is a good response, who knows where it can go from here," Donaghy said. "I'm willing to do whatever I can to make the show entertaining and fun for everyone watching, and I'm excited to be a part of it.”
Donaghy, 53, is best known for his involvement in a gambling scandal through which he bet on games he officiated and leaked inside information, such as injuries, to criminal associates during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
He pleaded guilty to two felony counts - conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and conspiracy to engage in wagering over state lines - for which he ultimately served 11 months of two concurrent 15-month sentences.
