Roger Federer has denied any involvement in alleged high-stakes gambling by an executive from his management company. The Swiss tennis star said Wednesday at the Paris Masters that he contacted IMG executive Ted Forstmann after learning of a lawsuit in which Forstmann is accused of betting millions on sporting events, including the 2007 French Open final that Federer lost to Rafael Nadal. "I reached out to him just to know everything about the case," Federer said. "That's all I did. I gave a straight answer at Shanghai [Masters] about what I thought about it, but it's disappointing that my name gets thrown around for something I have no control over." Forstmann, whose company also owns and operates some professional tennis tournaments, does not represent Federer. Tony Godsick of IMG is his agent. read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=5787891
