Sports Desk: In a bizarre development, BCCI is
likely to serve a show-cause notice to Rajasthan Royals pacer-turned-
prosecution witness Siddharth Trivedi, for not adhering to its
anti-corruption guidelines.
Trivedi, who claimed to have been approached by bookies during the
recently concluded IPL but refused to cede to the temptation, is guilty
of BCCI’s anti-corruption rules that state that players are to report to
their respective boards or the anti-corruption units if bookies happen
to get in touch with them.
The BCCI was unaware that Trivedi had been approached by bookies,
and it was only after the pacer made the startling revelation to Delhi
Police Special Cell that the board came to know about it.
"Even though people tried to tempt me, I never even thought of
spot-fixing," Trivedi had said after he agreed to assist in the
investigations.
According to sources, Trivedi would not only be issued a showcause notice but might as well be suspended pending inquiry.
The investigations into the spot-fixing scandal are being conducted by BCCI's anti-corruption unit head Ravi Sawani.
The Board is also likely to serve notices to S Sreesanth, Ankeet
Chavan and Amit Singh — released on bail by Delhi court on Tuesday.
