Srinivasan cleared of corruption

Quote: Narayanaswami Srinivasan has been cleared of corruption allegations relating to the Indian Premier League.
An Indian Supreme Court panel's report cleared the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings owner of betting and fixing.
Srinivasan was forced to stand down as president of India's cricket board (BCCI) during the investigation.
The 69-year-old was also found not guilty of having tried to prevent the investigation.
"This individual was not involved in match-fixing activities. This individual was not involved in scuttling investigations into match-fixing," the report said.
His son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was team principal of the Chennai Super Kings, was found guilty of illegal betting on the 2013 IPL in February.

The new Mr. Teflon?

Quote:The BCCI has said allegations against its sidelined president N Srinivasan, who is also the ICC chairman, are baseless and has given him a clean chit in the IPL corruption case after its working committee reviewed the Mudgal report at a meeting in Chennai.

It also decided to not take any action against IPL chief operating officer Sundar Raman, whom the Supreme Court-appointed Mudgal committee had found to "know a contact of a bookie and contacting him eight times in a season" and not taking any action on information he had received about betting by two IPL team owners.

The working committee also postponed the BCCI's Annual General Meeting, for the second time, to December 17. It will now be held two-and-a-half months later than it is customarily held each year.

"The Members noted the conclusions in the final report of the Mudgal committee," the BCCI said, "and felt that there is no taint on the conduct of Mr. N. Srinivasan and the allegations levelled against him by unscrupulous elements were baseless and were aimed at destabilising the working of the BCCI."
