Ex NFL Star Hank Baskett Sued over his involvement with a high-end L.A. gym — You Dirty (Gym) Rat

Hank Baskett — the ex-NFL player who fumbled away the 2010  Super Bowl — has his hands full with a new legal problem … all over his  involvement with a high-end L.A. gym … TMZ has learned.

Baskett — aka Kendra Wilkinson‘s husband — is being sued by a couple of  businessmen who invested in his “Performance Gaines” gym … co-owned by  Baskett’s personal trainer Travelle Gaines (hence the name).  The gym opened last fall.

The guys behind the lawsuit — Jory Wolf and  Nicholas Lorenz — claim they dumped six figures into the project before  Baskett’s name was even attached to it … and got left high and dry with  nothing to show for it.

Wolf and Lorenz are pointing the finger primarily  at Gaines, claiming Gaines tricked them into investing their money by promising  a 40% share in the “Performance Gaines” business … and then yanked the rug  from underneath them, giving away their shares to other  partners.

According to the lawsuit, Baskett was one of those partners …  so his hands are dirty too.

Wolf and Lorenz are suing for unspecified  damages.

Calls to Baskett and Gaines were not returned.
