The former NFL player allegedly linked to a Mafia-run gambling ring that stunned the nation has been identified, according to reports.

On Friday, an alleged victim of the gambling operation claimed that he'd been swindled out of $1million in a single night and that an ex-NFL star had been involved.

The man, who remained anonymous, alleged to the New York Post that Curtis Meeks - who was named in the federal indictment on Thursday - was present, along with the former football star.

His report claims that Gates 'hosted and played' in a rigged poker game in Miami, which was allegedly organized by the aforementioned Meeks.

At the time of writing, Gates has not been formally accused of any wrongdoings and was not named in the federal indictment released on Thursday.
