US SENATE CALLS OFF NFL PROBE

The US Senate will halt its probe into the NFL's bounty programs in light of reforms the league will introduce.

Illinois Democrat Sen. Richard Durbin met privately in his Capitol Hill office with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who laid out a series of reforms that he promised to implement in time for this fall's season.

Durbin called for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on NFL bounties in March after a league investigation found that players and coaches on the New Orleans Saints paid players thousands of dollars to injure members of opposing teams.

The NFL says the bounties were paid out from 2009 to 2011.

Among the measures that the league will take will be the creation of an anonymous hotline for players, coaches and executives to report such abuses. Messages about bounties will be posted in team locker rooms and added to the NFL Players Handbook.
