Theo Fleury is ready to tell the world what many suspected for years: He was sexually abused by Graham James. The Sun has learned the explosive revelation is detailed in his tell-all book, Playing With Fire, which will be released next week.

As much as this may seem like an open and shut case, it's worth noting that Fleury's isn't a case that's gone through the court system and any abuse is "alleged." His involvement with his former junior coach has been long, long suspected, however, and for many in the hockey world, this simply confirms what they believed to be the case.

I have a feeling Fleury's book will do quite well.

If you like theo, buy his book

I like him and hoped he’d stick with his beloved Flames. I was suprised he chose not to collect an AHL paycheck, but he has been through a lot and if he says his time’s up, so be it.

He was a nauseating opponent, but blazed a trail for any player the know-it-all’s labeled as “too small”..

I’m always a little leery of buying biographies by someone of such a relatively young age. Who knows, maybe the best part of Fleury’s story is yet to be written.

I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
