Sports911.com was among the first to cover this high profile case involving Duke Lacrosse players who have been accused of raping a woman during a raucous off campus party.

The players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.

Seligmann says he has an alibi bolstered by photographic and electronic evidence. He says neither investigators from the prosecutor's office nor police have questioned him about the night of the alleged crime since he was picked out of a line-up by the accuser, an exotic dancer performing at a lacrosse team party where she says the rape occurred.

"[The police line-up] felt like Russian Roulette. It could have been any single one of us. Kids were even calculating their chances…the percentage…that you would get picked," Seligmann recalls. Then he was indicted. "To see my face on TV, and that, you know, in those little mug shots, and above it saying, you know, 'Alleged rapists.' You don't know what that does to me and to my family and to the people that care about me," he says.

"This woman has destroyed everything I worked for in my life," says David Evans, a team captain who graduated last spring. "She's put it on hold. She's destroyed two other families and she's brought shame on a great university. Worst of all, she's split apart a community and a nation on facts that just didn't happen and a lie that should have never been told," Evans tells Bradley.

The third player indicted, Collin Finnerty, never saw the indictment coming but says it will follow him forever. "I never expected anyone to get indicted, let alone myself. It's changed my life, no matter what happens from here on out. It's probably going to be something that defines me my whole life," Finnerty tells Bradley.

An online sportsbook, WagerWeb.com, gained notoriety for offering betting odds on the various DNA results. 

“Sports betting is not limited to wagering only on games, player performance or season outcomes,” WagerWeb.com CEO Dave Johnson said at the time. “Our customers and sports fans alike come to our site to bet on the issues surrounding the sports world as well,” he adds.

The odds ask bettors to predict how many DNA matches investigators will make once the results come back. WagerWeb.com posted the following odds and wagers are specifically on the total DNA matches made with the 46 samples taken from the players.

Mary Elizabeth Reynolds, a woman's rights activist, expressed outrage at the time. 

"Your industry is shameless and I hope the US government puts WagerWeb and all other online gambling entities out of business, including Gambling911 for promoting this sick type of offer.  You are pathetic!"

Johnson later told the news media he regretted offering this wagering opportunity though admitted it drew quite a few bets.
