The players accused of match-fixing should volunteer themselves for lie-detector tests in order to clear their names. I don’t know what’s happening in London, I’ve only heard various reports, but one of the benefits of a polygraph test is it provides a piece of the puzzle. I don’t think it provides all the answers but it does give players opportunities – if they are wrongly accused – to clear their names via that means. It’s definitely a viable option. They have a 98 per cent degree of accuracy and if you have nothing to hide it’s a good way to prove your innocence.
