The NBA and the NBA referees' union Sunday denied reports that six referees have been disciplined for violating the league's anti-gambling policy in the aftermath of the gambling scandal involving ex-referee Tim Donaghy.

"There is no truth to the report," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said in an e-mail” as reported by USA Today.

Reports have surfaced that people were reprimanded, but the NBA denies that such things took place. Referees have a strict anti-gambling policy which they must follow which includes not going to any casinos.

In the wake of the latest scandals to hit the sports arena, several referees have broken this strict anti-gambling policy.
