"Many more players and teams have now come under our microscope; the conspiracy is much, much larger," CP Delhi Neeraj Kumar told a newspaper. this was certain to happen. Hopefully there will be a full probe of the IPL now.

Lol at the idea that legalization of betting will solve it. It's the same thing for rapes, the legalization of prostitution will not solve it.

Law Minister Kapil Sibal is proposing a separate law to control fixing and other illegal acts in sports and to ensure that offenders are punished strictly. He is also talking about plugging loopholes in the current laws to ensure that accused don't escape without punishment.

How is prostitution related to rape? Legalization of betting will definitely bring number of incidents down

Sreesanth was 'sacked' by Rajasthan Royals after the match in Mumbai http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/spot-fixing-hits-ipl-6/news/Did-Rahul-Dravid-sniff-Sreesanths-conspiracy/articleshow/20142496.cms

JAIPUR: Did Rajasthan Royals have an inkling about Sreesanth's activities long before Delhi cops knocked on the pacer's door at a Mumbai hotel? Team sources said skipper Rahul Dravid didn't want the pacer to play against Punjab in Mohali on May 9. But Sreesanth kept his spot, tucked in a towel and gave away 13 runs as per instructions from a bookie. By the next match, against Mumbai on May 15, the medium-pacer had been thrown out of the team. In fact, Sreesanth had no business being in Mumbai on May 16, when special cell sleuths came calling. A Rajasthan Royals official confirmed to TOI that the bowler had officially been told after the match against Chennai on May 12 that he was no longer part of the squad due to his increasing tantrums. "He had been asked to leave the team hotel in Jaipur itself," the official said, adding that it RR also cleared a large part of the its financial commitments towards Sreesanth at the time of his release. Rajasthan Royals had 'sacked' Sreesanth before the game against Mumbai Indians on My 15, a team official told TOI. He, though, clarified that the decision had nothing to do with any suspicion of spot-fixing. "We had no idea that spot-fixing was happening. He was asked to leave because he had been throwing tantrums for the past few days," he said. "This spot-fixing thing hit us out of the blue." Sreesanth was apparently upset at having been left out of the playing XI. He is said to have confronted Dravid and demanded that he be included in the playing XI as he was the best medium-pacer in the country. "At that time, we thought he was just frustrated at having to sit out," the official said. "Now, as we look back, we realize that perhaps he was doing that under pressure from bookies." Sreesanth had been throwing tantrums for the last few matches of Rajasthan Royals. Before the Mohali match on May 9, in which he is alleged to have indulged in spot-fixing, he had last played against RCB here on April 9. He had been left out for the matches against Pune Warriors and Delhi Daredevils here. This apparently did not go down too well with him. Even in Mohali, Dravid was said to have been reluctant on playing Sreesanth. There was apparently an air of suspicion around Chandila too. "Probably they could smell something fishy. But because there was no concrete proof, they didn't drop these guys," a source added. The Royals team, currently stationed in Jaipur, had a training session on Saturday at the RCA Academy and Sawai Mansingh Stadium ground. Clearly, the energy level evident in the past training sessions was missing as the Royals got cracking ahead of the qualifiers. Dravid, along with Ajinkya Rahane and a few others, preferred to practice at the SMS, while rest of the squad trained at the RCA Academy.
TOI-let paper is having a field day over this incident :laugh:

Sreesanth wanted to party all night with 'as many women as possible': Delhi Police Sreesanth had plans to party all night “with as many women as possible†on May 15, the Delhi Police have said. They claimed the cricketer was drunk and easily lured to Mumbai’s Trident hotel, where police had already arrested his bookie friend Jiju Janardhan. “We nabbed Jiju first and sought his help in luring Sreesanth,†an investigating officer said Sunday. “Jiju was made to call and tell him to come to the Trident, so he could be introduced to a female friend.†Minutes later, Sreesanth arrived at the Trident with a “woman on his armâ€. Police also said that when Jiju called him, Sreesanth told him he was “resting at homeâ€. But it turned out he had been at the InterContinental Hotel with his "girlfriend". As the police moved in on him, an enraged Sreesanth warned them "not to touch" him. "He yelled at one officer and shoved another, saying he knew the chief minister - though he didn't specify of which state," the officer said. Police, meanwhile, arrested three more men - including a former Ranji player - for acting as go-betweens for cricketers and bookies. The number of arrested now stands at 17. Sunil Bhatia, Kiran Dole, and Manish Gudewa were apprehended from Maharashtra's Aurangabad. Gudewa was a Ranji cricketer who played for Vidharbha between 2003 and 2005. Police are also trailing their associate Babu Ram Yadav.
