Ten former National Football League players, including former Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis, were charged with cheating an NFL healthcare program for retired players out of millions of dollars by faking the purchase of expensive medical equipment like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ultrasound machines.

They even put in for an electromagnetic therapy device designed for horses, the U.S. Justice Department said.
