Further investigation will kick up more dirt:Irani

Banned Indian cricket team physio Ali Irani has said that he fixed muscles and joints and not matches and if the CBI further pursued its investigation, it would be able to nail more people as guilty.

"The more the CBI investigates the betting and match-fixing scandal, the more dirt they will find," Irani told PTI in Mumbai. He said he was not happy with Madhavan's report to the BCCI as the report at the end just said the CBI version was correct and there was nothing new there.

"If the report is right and if they have a conscience, then many more will be found guilty and for that to happen they should continue investigating," he added.

"Maybe I was blamed because I was nice to everybody. That my services were sought by the Board for 10 years only proves that I was good at my job," Irani said.

"I fixed muscles and joints, not cricket matches and this ban (five years) does not concern me as I left the team in 1997 and I am through with cricket for now," Irani added. "I see nearly 200 patients everyday and I have no time to think about anything. My patients, including many sportsmen and stars, have been my strength. I have no intention of going to the court to challenge the verdict as I prefer going to 'janata' (people's) court," he said.

"Let me place the facts before the people and let them judge my case because now the people are under the impression that each time a match was fixed, Dr Ali Irani was the go between which is not true. I will definitely appeal to the BCCI as the Board is still the parent body," he added.
