I agree. The part I found most disgusting about the gambling incident wasn't so much that he lied about it, but he also savaged and slandered John Dowd, who gathered the evidence and was proven to be 100% correct. Pete knew Dowd was correct, yet he tried to destroy his reputation at every opportunity for years. To my knowledge, he never apologized to him for that.
One of Dowd’s claims rested on a betting slip that had a combination of games listed that never occurred on any day during that particular season.
Another thing was that he said Rose was apparently using his friend Ron Peters to lay bets for him. They knew they were Rose’s bets because Peters couple never have gotten that much credit from the gamblers.”
Which raises the question:
How the heck did Ippei Mizuhara get that much credit from the gamblers?
