Serious accusations are troubling.
Link to organised crime is troubling
Gambling in general around the sport is troubling
But the way the journalist wrote that, that the lack of money involved, ( it almost sounds as if he he is casting doubts on the story) is the 'troubling issue' almost comes across as a journalist being disappointed that their might not be a story there.
Media love bad news... just like every time there's a mass shooting in the US or a natural disaster somewhere and there are fatalities, they will come out and say "so far there are x people confirmed deceased
but that number is sure to rise significantly"... why not try and be positive??!!
I remember a few years back when there was flooding up in Queensland and that knob David Koch was interviewing some mayor of a town in the region... Turns out they weren't all that badly affected and Koch is saying, "you guys must be on edge there, expecting the worst when the rivers break their banks". The mayor says "not really, it's not too bad actually". Koch sounded disapponted and pretty much cut the interview short... Merkins the lot of them...
