Marlon Samuel's ban Samuels given two-year suspension http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/west_indies/7397378.stm West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has been banned for two years after being found guilty of breaking rules designed to stop players betting on matches. The International Cricket Council enforced a mandatory ban on the 27-year-old backdated from 9 May. The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said Samuels had "received money, benefit or other reward which could bring him or the game into disrepute". Samuels denied giving out any information to a bookmaker. But the ICC's acting chief executive David Richardson said: "We hope the case serves as a reminder to players and officials to remain vigilant. The committee had said they would prefer for Samuels not to face a ban, recommending a suspended sentence on account of Samuels' good behaviour. But the ICC decided to enforce the suspension with Richardson adding, "corruption is a serious matter". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, Samuels was banned for far less charges and with far less evidence than the accused Pak trio. Anyone still think they will go scot free?

Marlon Samuels got away lightly, just like Mark Waugh, Shane Warne and Co. Had it been an Indian player, he would've been banned for a minimum of 5yrs. and the humiliation is a subject thats best left to another dedicated thread.
