League Notes: India's Supreme Court Rips ICC Chair Over 'Obvious Conflict Of Interest'

India's Supreme Court on Monday slammed Int'l Cricket Council Chair N. Srinivasan for "presuming" a "clean chit" on the basis of the Mudgal panel report, saying there was "obvious conflict of interest between him heading the board and owning an IPL franchisee." A bench of justices T.S. Thakur and F.M.I. Kalifullah posed "tough questions to Srinivasan asking if he could claim innocence as one of his team officials was found involved in betting activities" (DECCAN HERALD, 11/24). ... The Badminton World Federation has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting illegal betting, match-fixing and corruption in sport by signing up to the IOC's Integrity Betting Intelligence System (BWF). ... Qatar has become the seventh contributor to the World Anti-Doping Agency's embryonic fund for new anti-doping research, carrying it to “within touching distance” of its $20 million target. The Gulf state's $1 million contribution takes to $9.27 million the aggregate sum now pledged to the fund (INSIDE THE GAMES, 11/24). ... The World Anti-Doping Agency announced on Monday it will review the "file of the suspension, already served,” of swimmer Sun Yang and “will decide whether it will appeal or not” before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Yang denies "having wanted to dope." WADA Senior Communications Manager Ben Nichols said, “WADA has not yet received all the elements in this case” (AFP, 11/24).
