DES MOINES, Iowa – The Division of Criminal Investigation released a statement Tuesday afternoon, with regards to a sports wagering investigation:

“The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s (DCI) Special Enforcement Operations Bureau serves as the primary criminal investigative and enforcement agency for gambling laws in the state of Iowa.  The DCI is involved in an ongoing investigation concerning sports wagering involving individuals at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. At this time, no criminal charges have been filed and no further information will be released. The DCI will work cooperatively with the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission concerning any potential regulatory violations.”

(Radio Iowa) – The Administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission says the agency didn’t start the investigation into gambling by athletes at the University of Iowa and Iowa State. Administrator Brian Ohorilko says the agency was made aware of the investigation — but is not the entity that’s conducting it. Ohorilko also says the sports books they oversee do monitor for irregular sports betting patterns — but the agency has not been informed of any integrity issues involving the two state schools.

The administrations of the two schools says 40 athletes in football, baseball, basketball and wrestling are under investigation for allegations of online sports betting. Ohorilko says the Commission could get involved if there was an underage gambling issue or integrity issue — but would not be part of investigating N-C-A-A rules violations.

Iowa State University says it is aware of online sports wagering allegations involving more than a dozen athletes.In a release, ISU says the athletes involved take part in football, wrestling and track and field. Iowa says it’s received information about 26 athletes and one athletic department employee.

The sports involved are baseball, football, mens basketball, wrestling, and track and field. The announcement comes days after Iowa benched baseball leading hitter Keaton Anthony for his series against Ohio State, due to what it called potential NCAA violations.
