The Full Report in pdf For those intrested-http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/archive/01750/JUSTICE_MUDGAL_IPL_1750743a.pdf 14TH_CSK_1427894f.jpgDirect Quote From Mudgal Report-

1. The role of Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan in Chennai Super Kings. Representatives of India Cements, who appeared before the Committee, contended that Mr. Meiyappan had no share holding in India Cements and hence cannot be considered as an owner of CSK. Further, Mr. M.S. Dhoni, Mr. N. Srinivasan and officials of India Cements took the stand that Mr. Meiyappan, had nothing to do with the cricketing affairs of Chennai Super Kings and was a mere cricket enthusiast supporting CSK. However, while conducting its probe the Committee sought to ascertain from various
Regarding match fixing the committee says- However, the Committee is not in a position to render any conclusive finding as to whether Mr. Meiyappan was involved in match fixing or spot fixing. Giving any finding as regards to fixing would mean that Mr. Meiyappan, had to have acted in connivance with a particular player/s. Since, the Committee has nothing on record to suggest the involvement of any player acting on the behest of Mr. Meiyappan, the Committee refrains from making any finding on his alleged involvement in spot/match fixing. However, the Committee would like to state that there is a general perception amongst many persons who deposed before the Committee, that matches involving CSK and other IPL teams were fixed and required through investigation. The said observations were in fact made by 2 former presidents of BCCI. However, since it is impossible for this committee to make a roving enquiry into all matches, the committee is of the view that the said issue has to be taken up by concerned investigating agencies, if any specific allegation / leads are made available to them.
First Post-
N Srinivasan’s defense that Meiyappan was not the team principal of Chennai Super Kings but just a cricket enthusiast has been demolished by the Justice Mudgal committee report on the allegations of IPL betting and spot-fixing. At the time the allegations broke, Srinivasan strenuously denied Meiyappan had anything to do with the team, saying he was only a cricket enthusiast. That explanation did not explain how Gurunath had access to the team dugout, team meetings and IPL owner-only meetings but when he was pressed on the issue, Srinivasan deferred to the courts, saying the matter was sub-judice. MS Dhoni. AP MS Dhoni. AP Now there can be no more defenses as the report comes to the clear conclusion Meiyappan was the face of the Chennai Super Kings. “We found the most people associated with cricket did say he was a team official,” Justice Mukul Mudgal told Firstpost. “He was at the auction. We have concluded he was a team official and team officials are forbidden from betting.” There are more worrying signs for Indian cricket in the report as well. The report, a copy of which is with Firstpost, states that "Mr. M.S. Dhoni, Mr. N. Srinivasan and officials of India Cements took the stand that Mr. Meiyappan, had nothing to do with the cricketing affairs of Chennai Super Kings and was a mere cricket enthusiast supporting CSK.” It is worth remembering that in a 2011 interview with the Hindu Business Line, Meiyappan said the following: “Before every game, Dhoni, Fleming and I exchange our elevens at 5.45 p.m. (for the night matches).” And this: “Fleming and I spent countless hours in the lead-up to the auction. In the last three days, we conducted mock auctions, picked around 45 different combinations.” That certainly sounds like Meiyappan had a lot to do with the cricketing affairs of CSK. It suggests either Dhoni or Meiyappan was not telling the whole truth about the nature of the latter's association with the team. The facts would suggest it is Meiyappan who is telling the truth, not Dhoni. The report goes on to state that: "India Cements themselves forwarded accreditation requests for Mr. Meiyappan, every year for the last 6 seasons, requesting for grant of accreditation access cards in the name of Mr. Meiyappan under different nomenclatures (i.e. Owner and Management) "A letter from of BCCI dated 03.02.2013 annexed the details of accreditation sought by CSK Chennai, which shows that in 2011 at Sl. No4 Sri Gurunath Meiyappan is described as Director. "This in our view demonstrates beyond doubt that at least in 2011 in a representation made by CSK for accreditation to BCCI, Mr. Meiyappan was described as a Director. This document also seeks access to Mr. Meiyappan to all areas. A gold pass and a management blue pass have also been sought for Meiyappan. The above documents further strengthen our conclusion that Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan was the part of CSK." It would stretch the bounds of credibility that Srinivasan was not aware his son-in-law was a team official given that he was both BCCI secretary and president during this time, aside from being the managing director of India Cements, which owns the Chennai Super Kings. That raises serious questions about the governance of cricket in India. If the BCCI president and India’s captain area willfully misrepresent the facts because the facts happen to be inconvenient, then there is no one left to police the game. Srinivasan claims the BCCI has a zero-tolerance approach to fixing and corruption. This report gives the lie to such a claim. Meiyappan broke the rules. Yet Srinivasan’s priority was covering it up rather than finding out the truth. In doing so, he has dragged India’s captain along with him. These are not encouraging signs for Indian cricket, no matter how someone tries to spin them.
