Former Auburn Hoops Player Indicted For Point Shaving

((HT: WSFA-TV))

Kyievarez "Varez" Ward is alleged to "have conspired with others to bribe or solicit one or more individuals to influence a sporting contest, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371."

Translation: Two counts of point-shaving while he was playing for Auburn...

Ward and teammate Chris Denson, were suspended before the February 25th, 2012 home game against the Arkansas Razorbacks after allegations of poor play involving point-shaving.

Denson was questioned and was cleared.

Auburn University Athletics issued a statement shortly after Ward's suspension:

"Auburn officials were made aware of a rumor regarding an allegation two weeks ago and immediately reported it to the FBI, the NCAA and the SEC. Because of the nature of the allegation, Auburn is not in a position to make any further comment on the situation."

Of course not...

Ward attended Montgomery-Jefferson Davis High School and is no longer enrolled at Auburn.
Here's what Tony Barbee saw in Ward from his time at Texas...
