A confidential police informant who appeared Sunday on the sports network ESPN said Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is a "heavyweight" among dogfighters. The informant said Vick has fought dogs, funded, and gambled on the illegal activity as recently as last year. The informant also said he witnessed Vick gamble and bring dogs to fights as far back as 2000, when Vick was at Virginia Tech.
Officials in Virginia continue their investigation into possible dogfighting activity at a home which Vick owns in the state. Investigators have, or plan to speak with those who have witnessed dogfighting. No charges have yet been filed in the case.
