A University of Florida investigation into allegations that sophomore guard Nick Calathes was involved in online gambling turned up no eligibility issues according to Athletic Director Jeremy Foley.

Earlier Friday, a story reported by Yahoo Sports claimed that Calathes had run up a $600 debt in an online poker room. According to Foley, the University of Florida was already investigating gambling claims and its investigation proved that Calathes had not been involved in any sports gambling.

“We became aware of certain allegations over the weekend and immediately looked into it,” said Foley. “We reviewed everything very thoroughly and are satisfied with our results. We have no eligibility issues and are very comfortable that this issue is resolved based on our review.”
