De club speelde toen 1e divisie, maar tegenwoordig eredivisie.
Welke tenniser won een grand slam, maar was zo kapot dat hij tegen Ivan Lendl zelfs een keer onderhands moest serveren.
Welke ex-tennisser werd beschuldigd/ondervraagd voor verdachte weddenschappen op zijn wedstrijden, en werd later prof golfer en pokerspeler ?
Daniel Negreanu? Ik weet dat die aardig pokert en ook golft ...
Inderdaad Kafelnikov, zowel bij het tennis als poker was ie op z'n minst dubieus bezig :
Bericht uit 2007:
Tennis great Kafelnikov linked to cheating?
A few weeks back, for the first time, the ATP, tennis's governing body, announced that it is investigating a suspicious betting pattern during a match between Nikolay Davydenko, a ranked player, and Martin Vasallo Arguello, a huge underdog, who nevertheless received most of the $7 million in betting action, EVEN after having already lost the first set. Betfair reported that the amount wagered was 10 times more than usual, incredibly on an underdog already down a set.
Well, this is reminiscent of a situation in a match between Yevgeny Kafelnikov, then a highly ranked player, and Fernando Vicente, who had been unranked and winless for several months, but incredibly took almost all of the action and won in three sets.
How is this related to the poker and gambling world? Well, several months ago I was asked if I'd heard any reports of Kafelnikov's being involved in a Russian professional poker cheating team. The person asking said he'd heard that Kafelnikov had been involved with the ex-Olympic gold-medal-winning Russian gymnast, Vera Shimanskya, who had indeed been arrested in a poker cheating scandal in Spain. So is there a connection there? I have no evidence on Kafelnikov, but the circumstantial evidence against Kafelnikov is adding up. He has also been caught in photographs with known Russian mobsters.
