In the much-awaited verdict related to the Indian Premier
League corruption case, The Justice Lodha commitee announced its verdict today
where they suspended Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for a period of
two years each. The committee also banned Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra for
life from any cricket-related activity.
Justice Lodha said that even though Rajasthan Royals claimed
to be a franchise which was against corrupt activities, three of its players
were arrested in 2013 for spot-fixing. As a result, RR have also been suspended
for 2 years.
"The committee imposes sanctions on Japiur IPL
franchise (Rajasthan Royals): Suspend it from the league for a period of two
years," Justice Lodha said in the conference.
"The committee proposes to impose sanctions on India
Cements franchise (Chennai Super Kings): Suspend it for a period of two
years," it was said in the press conference.
The Lodha committee has imposed the following sanctions
against Raj Kundra: He is declared ineligible from participating in cricket for
five years. He is suspended for life. He is suspended for life from being
involved in the BCCI from any type of cricket matches. The above sanctions
shall run concurrently and shall commence from the date of this order.
The Lodha committee has found Gurunath Meiyappan guilty of
betting and bringing a bad name to BCCI's image and brand IPL, as a result of
which Meiyappan has been banned for life from participating in any cricket-related
activity.
Two teams from cricket`s Indian Premier League could be
banned from the glitzy Twenty20 tournament when a Supreme Court-appointed panel
hands down its sentence on a corruption scandal.
Officials from the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the
Rajasthan Royals have already been found guilty of betting on matches and their
respective teams now face heavy sanctions after an inquiry that also tainted
International Cricket Council supremo Narayanaswami Srinivasan.
An outright ban on the two former champions would be a
devastating blow to what is only an eight-team tournament, and observers say
former chief justice Rajendra Mal Lodha, who heads the three-man panel, is more
likely to announce heavy fines.
