Sreesanth life ban

TEST fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, 30, has been banned from cricket for life after being found guilty of spot-fixing during the Indian Premier League, authorities said Friday.

Ankeet Chavan, a teammate of Sreesanth's in the Rajasthan Royals, was also handed a life ban following a probe by the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) anti-corruption chief Ravi Sawani.

"Sreesanth and Chavan have been banned for life from playing any representative cricket, or in any way being associated with the activities of the BCCI or its affiliates," the board said in a statement.

The BCCI's disciplinary committee, taking action on Sawani's report, also handed a five-year suspension to Amit Singh, who played in the IPL till last year for his involvement in spot-fixing.

Batman wrote:No no no. You got it all wrong. According to Sree the disciplinary board committee meeting went off 'well', the members were 'co-operative' and he is training hard to make an India comeback soon. Either he is living in denial at age 30 given Indian judiciary's speed of working or he passed some of the loot to win a clean chit a few months later.

My only issue in this whole thing is how can corrupt crooks sitting in bigger places of power decide who has the right to be corrupt from people below them and punish someone else for the same?
