The Sporting News

The federal government filed charges against the company for promoting illegal Internet and telephone gambling in print, on its Web site and on its radio stations. The illegal advertising ran from spring 2000 through December 2003 and continued to run for more than six months after the Justice Department sent a letter to the Magazine Publishers of America warning that ads promoting Internet gambling and offshore sports-betting operations were illegal. The Sporting News has stopped running the ads and has agreed to pay a $7.2 million settlement to the federal government. (Jan-20-06) [SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER]
