Marlon Samuels has been found guilty by West Indian Cricket Board's disciplinary committee of violating "ICC's Code of Conduct for receiving money, or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute."
In February 2007, Samuels was caught on tape by the Indian police for passing match related information to an Indian bookie during West Indies' one-day series in India.
Samuels denied the allegations and said he did not give any information outside. He also promised to the board that he will support the enquiry.
The ICC's anti-corruption unit arrived in India for an enquiry. He was allowed to play in the world cup in West Indies.
The Anti-Corruption Unit's report said that he indulged in inappropriate activity and the behaviour was prejudicial to the interests of the game of cricket.
WICB, though supported Samuel, said that the enquiry will be conducted in a transperent manner. It conducted the inquiry and found that he is guilty.
The ICC has said that, they are happy with the enquiry conducted by WICB and the punishment will be decided soon.
He is facing a life ban, the maximum punishment. The disciplinary committee will spell out the punishment for Samuels soon!
