ECB interviews Chris Lewis

Gerard Elias, QC, Chairman of the Discipline Committee, and Simon Pack, International Teams Director, on behalf of the ECB, today interviewed Chris Lewis in the company of his solicitor regarding the comments attributed to him in Sunday's News of the World.

Mr Lewis indicated his desire to continue to cooperate fully with the Board and has put all information in his possession into the hands of the Board.

As a result the Board is passing this information to the police. At the same time, the Board will continue its investigations with a view to determining whether evidence exists in relation to betting and match-fixing which might justify disciplinary action under the Board's regulations.

The Board will issue further statements as and when it has more information.
