Who would shock you?

Saw this on CNN and it got me thinking.
Former baseball star Dykstra charged with fraud - CNN.com
With current or former atheletes like Dykstra, L.T, Oj, I mean the list could go on forever, that get in trouble with the law have we become desensetized? I mean I read these stories and am not surprised in the least, almost as if I expect it. So it got me thinking which current or former player, if i saw that they ran afoul of the law, would shock or at least surprise me?
Just of the top of my head I came up with Barry Sanders, Magic, and Tony Gwynn. Who would shock you to see?

Wasn't there something about gambling with Gretzky? Or was it his wife?

Ya his wife got busted in a big gambling ring with former player or coach Rick Tocchet? (sp?)

Rumor has it she was making the bets for Wayne and covering for him but who knows. Not to be totally sexist but it is a little hard to believe a women was into this scheme all by herself but like I said who knows

But ya she definitely got into trouble over gambling
