A person familiar with an e-mail sent to NFL Players Association staff tells The Associated Press the union has been advised that federal authorities are preparing to interview employees in an investigation into whether former NFLPA leaders attempted to collude with the league.
The e-mail was sent by the union Friday. It says the NFLPA has been advised that it “may have been the victim of violations of federal laws,” the person said. The person was speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is considered sensitive.
The Department of Labor launched the investigation last year into allegations that former union leaders provided the NFL access to confidential information.
The Sports Business Journal first reported the contents of the e-mail on Friday.
