Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is nowhere near this, but he was accused Thursday of acquiring a fake card ensuring he was vaccinated against COVID-19 .
This is what the daily reported Tampa Bay Times, who spoke with the former personal chef of NFL player Steven Ruiz. Brown allegedly asked his girlfriend, Cydney Moreau, to check with Ruiz to acquire a fake vaccination passport, which he would have been prepared to pay $ 500.
Unsure of the vaccine’s possible side effects, Brown ultimately bought two bogus evidence on his own, according to Ruiz.
In the “Times” article, Moreau said he did not know his boyfriend’s former employee. Ruiz admitted to turning to the media to tell this story since Antonio Brown owed him $ 10,000.
In a statement sent to the Florida newspaper, Brown’s lawyer, Sean Burstyn, assured that his client had indeed been vaccinated. The Buccaneers claimed in writing that all vaccination cards had been reviewed by team staff and that no irregularities were observed.
Falsifying proof of vaccination is a federal crime in the United States. The NFL has confirmed for its part that it will review the charges.
