Probably far more of it going on in many sports that we do not know about.

 

It only becomes news when they are found out.

I have to say that I sympathise with the jailed players, they were clearly just naive and possibly felt they had no alternative but to agree to the betting scam particularly if they were leant on and threatened with violence if they didn't

They weren't just corrupt, greedy bastards then?

They were in it for the money and nothing else - pure greed.

I beg to differ, why would the 19 year old prodigee, namely Mohammad Amir, with the World at his feet risk his future like that, nobody would be that stupid

Greed often over powers other factors.

 

Maybe they had got away with it before - who knows?
