12th former NFL player has admitted to participating in a multimillion-dollar scheme to defraud the league’s health care benefit program.
Former Washington Football Team and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Lexington, Kentucky, to one charge of conspiring to defraud a program set up to reimburse former players for out-of-pocket medical expenses, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.
Prosecutors allege the players targeted the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan. It provides tax-free reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical care expenses that were not covered by insurance and that were incurred by former players, their spouses and dependents.
Indictments say a group of former players defrauded the plan by submitting false claims for expensive medical equipment, including devices used on horses. In reality, they had never purchased or received the medical equipment, prosecutors said.
The charges were consolidated in Kentucky because the fraudulent claims were processed through an insurance data center in Lexington.

Correct. The other is spelled Karlos.
Carlos Rogers was one hell of a DB. Thorpe winner and heart of that 2004 defense.

Coming from you, the biggest Mongoloid, waterhead retard on the rant.
I don't think either one of those guys lost a game to Alabama.

Ah. I was wondering. I don’t think anyone has ever located much NFL talent in the region.
