Ebrahim to head Asiagate probe
Posted: 2011-10-25 07:51
The Zimbabwe Football Association has appointed a former Supreme Court judge and international cricket match referee to lead an independent investigation into the lingering match-fixing scandal, known as Asiagate.
Zifa named Ahmed Ebrahim on Monday as head of a disciplinary committee, which will conduct hearings and determine punishments for players, coaches and officials accused of throwing games on Zimbabwe national team tours to Asia between 2007 and 2009.
Some players allegedly admitted their guilt as far back as 2010 in a Zifa investigation, but cases have still not been concluded.
Zifa President Cuthbert Dube said the committee would operate "in terms of Fifa and Zifa statures."
Ebrahim added it "will not shun its responsibility in bringing all those who transgressed to book."
