League Notes: LFP Shows Leniency With Sanctions On Players Caught Betting

The Disciplinary Committee of the French Professional League (LFP) "imposed sanctions on some of the 87 first and second division players who were caught out after the files of the LFP were compared to lists of those betting on league games." The low-key announcement "saw the toughest penalties imposed" being three-match suspensions and fines of €1,500 ($2,000) (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 7/30). ... The Israel Basketball Association was notified by FIBA on Tuesday that "the national team will not be able to host its first EuroBasket qualifier against Montenegro in Tel Aviv due to the ongoing rocket fire." Israel "was scheduled to host Montenegro on August 10." However, due to the security situation, "it was told that it will have to play the game abroad, with Greece a possible venue for the encounter" (JERUSALEM POST, 7/29). ... The Int'l Cricket Council agreed to hear an appeal by India cricketer Ravindra Jadeja "against a fine for breaching its Code of Conduct during the drawn first test against England earlier this month" (REUTERS, 7/30).
