Tim May blasts on Lord Condon for corruption claims – Cricket News Update
Former Australian Test spinner and incumbent chief of Federations of International Cricketers Associations (FICA), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-Brian-Alexander-May-c93981, has strongly condemned the ex-head of International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit, Paul Condon, for his claims that
every cricketing nation of 1990s had been involved in some kind of corruption.
May has termed the allegations to be groundless, avowing that Lord must back his views with solid and valid proofs. He opines that cricketers are fed up of pseudo critics like Condon, who come up with baseless allegations.
The former bowler has also questioned the intent of the ICC, arguing that if the council was aware of cricket corruption, it must have taken action at that time.
Talking to the media today, May said, “Player Associations are getting sick and tired of people coming out making these general accusations, the effect of which cast doubts over the entire player base. If people are going to make these type of accusations,
make sure that they are specific and make sure that you have the proof to back up such claims.”
Condon, who established the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625’s ACU in 2000 and pilotted it for at least ten years, stated a few days back that fixing was rife during that period.
Lord stated, “Every international team, at some stage, had someone doing some funny stuff. When they look back on their careers, a bit of shame must creep in.”
However, May has backed Condon’s suggestion that the players should have a great say in the anti-corruption drive. “His belief that players should be more closely involved by the ICC in the search for solutions,” added FICA boss.
All this corruption uproar in International cricket is due to the trial and punishment of the Pakistani trio in a gruesome spot-fixing controversy, which came into light during a Pakistan-England Test match at Lord’s, in August 2010.
After allegations against them proved to be true, a British Crown Court declared 30 months, 12 months and 3 months imprisonments to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675 respectively.
