I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Apparently this is rigged because he named two staff as being involved in match fixing?
Yea I read that.Apparently this is rigged because he named two staff as being involved in match fixing?
Pretty sure the SL government has stepped in and ordered an investigation.Yea I read that.
Would be so ridiculous. I dont even think the WADA is going to investigate this. It's left in the hands of the SLCB, and they're not exactly competent.
**** like this is probably why subcontinental players don't act out against corruption more.
A guy has tested positive for PEDs and has **** out some conspiracy theories.Doesn't sound that far-fetched to me. Pretty well known that Sri Lankan cricket is as badly run as anywhere in the world isn't it?
Its not Perera claiming this tho, its the Sri Lankan sports minister:A guy has tested positive for PEDs and has **** out some conspiracy theories.
I mean, I'm all for the investigation and all but yeah, it sounds like bull****.
Sri Lankan official claims Kusal Perera failed drug test may be connected to reporting match-fixing - International - Cricket | Sport360Sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekara claims Perera’s food or his urine sample may have been tampered to ‘teach him a lesson’. Jayasekara said a man linked to a bookmaker had offered Perera and star bowler Rangana Herath tens of thousands of dollars to engineer a Sri Lankan batting collapse at a Test in Galle in October, which the hosts went on to win emphatically.
Yeah, occums razor suggests he took PEDs but stranger things have happened than him being fixed up by a bookmaker. There is almost no money in Sri Lankan cricket for their players would have to imagine the assistant coaches are on absolutely nothing. Them getting bunged to teach a player a lesson isn't that shocking to me.A guy has tested positive for PEDs and has **** out some conspiracy theories.

As far as I'm aware, the sports minister has raised the investigation on the evidence of a journalist who interviewed Perera. I could be wrong. Either that or he's in personal communication with Perera, which sounds dodgy.Its not Perera claiming this tho, its the Sri Lankan sports minister:

Its a bit of a strange situation. If the Sports minister is to believed, then how and why has this been allowed to happen? If the Sports Minister is making things up, it makes you wonder how professional the people running sports in Sri Lanka are, let alone Cricket in particular. That actually makes Kausal being framed seem more plausible.
yeah I absolutely agree, and I'm all for the investigation. It's just that at the moment, the facts are that he's tested positive for a PED.Yeah, occums razor suggests he took PEDs but stranger things have happened than him being fixed up by a bookmaker.

Drilling holes in the toes of the batsmen bats.of all people how is rangana herath supposed to start his own team's batting collapse
they're speed holes. they make the bat go faster.Drilling holes in the toes of the batsmen bats.
WICB says hi.Doesn't sound that far-fetched to me. Pretty well known that Sri Lankan cricket is as badly run as anywhere in the world isn't it?
