Clinton Portis, other ex-NFL players plead guilty to defrauding league healthcare program

Former Denver Broncos and Washington Football Team star Clinton Portis is among the latest batch of former NFL players who have pleaded guilty to defrauding a league healthcare program, according to the Associated Press.

Portis, Tamarick Vanover and Robert McCune all reportedly admitted to defrauding the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan, a program set up to reimburse up to $350,000 in medical expenses for retired players and their families.

McCune, who played as a linebacker for Washington, the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens between 2005 and 2008, is facing the most serious charges of the group by far.
