I haven't defended anyone, just commented on the FACT that you've brought Warne in for absolutely no justifiable reason.
No Marc, Actually it was you who attacked CC by accusing CC of attacking a 'white guy' . CC, in this case, was not attacking Warne, he was merely pointing the inconsistency shown by some members on this forum.
And Boy these people will not find a place to hide now(after all that is what they deserve for believeing a tabloid).
ICC dismisses reports of match-fixing as inaccurate
LONDON, SEP 14 (PTI)
International Cricket Council today dismissed media reports alleging match-fixing in the recent triangular ODI tournament in Zimbabwe as totally inaccurate and without foundation.
ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed said that in light of the wildly inaccurate reports in certain sections of the Indian media it was necessary to take the unusual step of clarifying on the activities of the Anti-Corruption Unit.
"We do not normally comment on the operational activities of the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit but in light of the volume of utterly unfounded reports relating to the recent tri-series in Zimbabwe, it is important to make it clear that there is no investigation being undertaken into this series," said Speed in a statement from the ICC here.
"It is disappointing to see such wild and unfounded accusations circulating in the media and we have taken the unusual step of commenting on this speculation as we do not wish the reputation of the sport, the teams or the players to be tarnished by utterly inaccurate media reports." The ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit frequently travels to all ICC Full Member countries and travel plans to visit many of these countries, including India, are already in place, the ICC statement said.
No details of these travel plans are publicly circulated and no comment will be made on the nature of the ICC ACSU's operations in these member countries, the statement added.
