Cardinals executive Ryan Gold's lawyer says gambling accusations are "blatantly false"

On Friday, the NFL announced that Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold has been suspended indefinitely for violating the leagues gambling policy.

On Sunday, Golds lawyer issued a statement denying the allegations.

Ryan Gold has been an outstanding NFL executive for over a decade, attorney Mike Caspino said.

The accusations made by the league, regarding his participation in prohibited gambling activities, are blatantly false.

We have demanded an appeal and we look forward to clearing his good name.

The league has accused Gold of providing inside information regarding the Cardinals draft selections before the picks were announced, and of participating in parlay bets on NFL and college games.

Gold shouldnt expect any support from the Cardinals.

The team said Friday that it fully support[s] the leagues decision.

The Cardinals also have deactivated Golds bio page on the teams website.
