AUBURN, AL (WSFA) -

A suspended Auburn basketball player has been indicted on two counts in federal court following accusations of point-shaving while he was playing for Auburn.

In the indictment which was released last Thursday, Kyievarez "Varez" Ward is alleged to have conspired with others to bribe or solicit one or more individuals to influence a sporting contest, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.

Ward and another teammate, Chris Denson, were suspended by the Tigers prior to the Feb. 25, 2012 home game against the Arkansas Razorbacks after allegations of poor play involving point-shaving.

Denson was questioned regarding the alleged point-shaving investigation, but was cleared a short time after his initial suspension. He was allowed to return to the team.

Auburn University Athletics issued a statement shortly after Ward's suspension:

"Auburn officials were made aware of a rumor regarding an allegation two weeks ago and immediately reported it to the FBI, the NCAA and the SEC. Because of the nature of the allegation, Auburn is not in a position to make any further comment on the situation."

WSFA 12 News has reached out to Auburn University for comment in the wake of Ward's indictment. At this time Ward is no longer enrolled in the university.

Ward attended Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery back in 2007.

Point shaving at Auburn? 

"Now boys, the spread shows ya'll are gonna lose by 50.5.  I need ya'll to make it a solid 60 for me."

"Hell, Mr. Bagman, we can do that, we don't even need a reason."
