Amir confesses of being invovled in spot-fixing: Indian media reports

[HAIDER]

Wonder why Yawar Saeed resign today. Watch "Two Butt" sahibs (Ijaz and Salman) will be disappeared soon.All these guys made enough money.
But Amir is tainted. After confession how he face the world of cricket/crowd/teams...gawd knows.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

how will he prove it? isnt his statement enough to be called as proof? or even he will not be tried as he confessed of making a mistake but he doesnt have a proof of what he said?

Hmm...unless he proves that he has any proof Salman Butt and Asif cannot be harmed bcoz they can ask him to prove what he is saying..and no one can do anything against anyone unless there is any proof.

But one thing is for sure...Amir has accepted he was part of it...either he proves what he is saying or he becomes the only one among the three to accept Spot fixing charge..either way embaressment for Ijaz Butt.

 

[HAIDER]

Well, in this whole situation we have two suspected Butt.

 

[Enigma]

Does anyone think that by accusing that Butt forced him into spot-fixing, Aamir might be trying to save himself from a harsh punishment?

This is interesting, lets see how Butt replies

Butt's expert in replying such responses.. remember ? "these are just allegations, anyone can come and say anything about you" "that dosent make them true"

Innocent till proven guilty my foot!

Hi,

Yawar Saeed was supposed to resign after this tour---that was his agreement initially.

So far that is not a surprise---.

Secondly---about Aamir---it will become clear in the next few days as to what is happening---Ijaz Butt flying to england--etc etc.

But if that is the way it happened---it is undstood that young teenage players can be put in a spot by their captains---.

Remember here is this kid---till last years---he did not have his own room in a hotel to sleep in----because of his age---he was sharing a room with one of the managers.

Now---how 18 years old are on this board---and how many of them have been preesurized by their peers to do things they didnot want to.

You see----even in real life----the law / judge is also very sympethatic to the age, the situation and influence of the peer on a young person.

Basically---time served---that the time of current suspension should do okay.

As for Asif---very difficult to prove that no ball---barely over the line---bottomline---Salman Butt will take the dump.

Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir confessed to fixing, say reports | Herald Sun

 

[Awesome]

This hasn't been officially released, but I just can't imagine Ijaz Butt being clear off the same charges if they are true.

I expect more confessions, Butt will point more fingers and so on.

Ex Pakistan president Musharraf urges leniency for suspended Amir in fix case​

By Min Lee (CP) – Sep 14, 2010

HONG KONG — Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has urged leniency for suspended cricketer Mohammad Amir, who is fighting allegations of match-fixing, saying the 18-year-old may have acted under the influence of older players.


Amir, fellow bowler Mohammad Asif and Test captain Salman Butt are challenging corruption charges pressed by the International Cricket Council after a news report showed an agent for the trio accepting money for organizing the deliberate bowling of no-balls at prearranged times during a Test against England at Lord's last month, in order to fix bets.


Asked about the scandal on the sidelines of an investor conference in Hong Kong on Wednesday, Musharraf condemned cheating but urged leniency for Amir, citing his youth, his talent and poor family background.


"This boy, I would say, is hardly a man at 18, who came under the influence of senior players, needs to be seen compassionately for the sake of his family and for the sake of cricket at large. It's a very sad incident," Musharraf told reporters.


"Instead of destroying a person, rehabilitation of the person is required. We need to do everything to rehabilitate him and set an example for others."



Musharraf's comments came as he plotted a return to Pakistan politics. He announced on Wednesday he is forming a new political party and will return to the country for the next set of national elections in 2013. The former president took power in a coup in October 1999 and stepped down in 2008 amid nationwide protests.


Mazhar Majeed, who was shown in news reports accepting money in return for the no-balls, was arrested and released on bail without being immediately charged. British police also questioned Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz in London on Tuesday.

September 14th article, a lot of people have said the same if he's found guilty.

I think he should probably get the punishment and then perhaps later pardoned on good behavior type of thing. Also ICC will be involved when he gets punished so Pakistanis alone can't issue any pardons.
