CSK, RR suspended for 2 years; Gurunath Meiyappan, Raj Kundra banned for life



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.
