http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/12530496.htm DETROIT - Sixers forward Chris Webber was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine yesterday, nearly 2 years after he pleaded guilty to a federal criminal contempt charge in the University of Michigan booster scandal. U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds fined Webber the maximum allowed after she ruled that Webber's conviction should be treated as a misdemeanor rather than a felony, the U.S. Attorney's office said. The judge also noted Webber's completion of 330 hours of community service and out-of-pocket expenses of more than $78,000. In September 2003, Edmunds ordered Webber to perform 300 hours of the community service over the next two summers as a condition of his bond, saying she would decide whether to treat the crime as a felony or a misdemeanor in 2 years. "I believe there is a reason and purpose for everything in life and if this situation allowed me the privilege to have my life intersect with the lives of the children I worked with these past two summers, [then] it was worth every moment," Webber said in a statement on his Web site. Webber pleaded guilty to the criminal contempt charge in July 2003, a day before jury selection was scheduled to start for his trial on a perjury charge. Webber and his father, Mayce Webber Jr., were accused of lying about money authorities say the player received from ex-booster Ed Martin. The maximum penalty would have been 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The charges against Mayce were dropped. -- 旧闻了 看来伟哥可以专心练球了 ...^^ -- JI32FM43JSUFIU D DFOIDS FOI --
