ARod & Poker?

[JimRivett]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the B&M or NVG forum.

So I'm reading this morning's LA Times Sports section and on page D8 there is a "Newswire" section where they catch up on the news of non football/basketball/hockey sports where I come across this paragraph -

"Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez was cautioned by the team that playing poker in illegal clubs could be dangerous and harmful to his image, according to the New York Daily News. Scott Boras, Rodriguez's agent, denied the report"

I'm confused as to what exactly Boras is denying, that Rodriguez plays poker, that he plays it in illegal clubs, that playing poker, legally or illegally, can be dangerous or harmful to his image, that the New York Daily News reported it, that .... I think you get my point.
