League Notes: NZ Cricket Considering Offering Amnesty To Players Who Report Corruption

New Zealand Cricket will "consider following a Cricket Australia initiative" to offer an amnesty for players who report "corruption-related approaches," which was welcomed by New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum on Monday. CA had taken "unprecedented steps to weed out match fixing ahead of the World Cup." Players will be "spared from penalty if they come forward with any evidence from their careers by the end of November." McCullum said that the initiative "had merit." Cricketers face "bans of up to five years if they are found to have failed to report information relating to a breach of the CA anti-corruption code." NZC said in a statement, "New Zealand Cricket takes the issue of anti-corruption extremely seriously. The amnesty proposed by Cricket Australia, as reported in media outlets today, is an interesting initiative and something NZC will discuss and consider" (STUFF, 10/20). ... The National Rugby League integrity unit is "investigating an incident involving the Samoa rugby league team over the weekend in which up to eight people were arrested." North Queensland's Tautau Moga was reportedly "partying with his Samoa teammates ahead of their Four Nations opener against England on Saturday, when a disagreement broke out at the Hot Gossip nightclub in Fortitude Valley on Sunday morning." Moga is "said to be one of eight men charged over offences including public nuisance and assault." Samoa team management said in a statement, "Team management are aware of the issue. The NRL integrity unit is investigating. There is no further comment until the matter is resolved" (AAP, 10/20).
