ESPN rising star Adnan Virk has been fired by the network, sources told The Post.
Virk is accused of leaking confidential company information to the media on multiple occasions, according to sources.
When ESPN investigated the allegations, it felt that Virk failed to fully cooperate.
Virk, who recently signed an extension with ESPN, was escorted out of the Bristol headquarters.
He recently signed a new multi-year contract.
“Adnan Virk no longer works at ESPN,” ESPN vice president Josh Krulewitz told The Post.
Virk could not immediately be reached for comment.
On Friday, Virk was escorted off the Bristol campus. The specific nature of the information Virk chose to share is unknown at this time.
This news is pretty shocking considering how well liked Virk is by the public.
Wow. If this is true, ESPN just lost one of their best young talents. Loved watching his work.
