Somebody who earns 1000 crores a year on endorsements does not require to go for fixing_matches or few_lakhs.He is not a stupid_to damage his reputation by doing so.Its commonsense.
If it was some fringe guys like Shreesanth_Chandillya or some poor cricketer from Pakistan,then I can accept.But Dhoni,logically it is foolish_for him to go for betting and so he will not do that.Any fixer_can tell I know Dhoni,that does not make any sense.I can also say,I know Modi and Tata,but I do not know if they know me !

In other words, If someone else involve who is close to him, then again there is no issue, Since IPL meant to betting, So better way is that to legalise betting atlease for IPL.. In this way atleast govt. could make good money in form of taxes and registration fee.

Greed tends any man to earn money in any way or other. See the wealthy Businessmen, in spite of have enough money they run after money. Anybody can exploit his own popularity to earn money.

At least he is a fit athlete and doesn't look out of place in the role. How about our old haggard icon actor flying kites and advertising for jewellery ?

Working for ads is not prohibited - it does not affect purity of game. They are called professional sports persons because they earn out of ads, logos, promoting products & are not totally dependant on earning from sports prizes & contract money. But promoting betting, revealing team's plans, match fixing are all crime - even if they are done thro some body else. The Bharat Ratna awardee never got involved in such thing.

Zee showed Sampat Kumar saying that a Bookie said that he knew Dhoni & Raina personally....Zee took this bookie's statement as Evidence against them, But Why....These bookies are avid liers.... If Bookie had said the same thing about Sachin or Dravid or Laxman.... Will anyone believe it.... Would Zee news have done the same then as well....
Well done Dhoni.... Zee News deserves this lesson.... They were also taking Raina's name.... Dhoni should suggest same thing to Raina as well.... Raina should also sue Zee news.... Zee news was not showing any truth, they just have a grudge against BCCI & IPL.... Coz BCCI didn't allow their ICL to flourish which used to Telecast on ZEE SPORTS.... Honestly ICL was not that popular either.... Zee knew that just Fixing news is not going to affect BCCI that much....But targeting the successful & popular players of CSK... which is the most successful Franchise in IPL.... will definitely affect them....they made that news against Dhoni & Raina out of Un-verified facts....Investigation is still going on, its not completed yet.... But Zee showed them as Culprit on their channel.... Perfect example of DIRTY JOURNALISM by the name of their So-Called Sources.... The word "Sources" which is in Trend now a days....

They must have tried to blackmail Dhoni at first and when he refused, tried to malign him by their false allegations. The guy named in the suit Sudhir Chowdhary was earlier jailed for similar reasons. This Zee is a paid mouthpiece of Modi and all top people have made huge money from blackmailing and paid political news stories.

Thank U..u are 100% correct.For example Zee News also spoiled Speak Asia..as Zee group also wanted to start a similar thing like Speak Asia but they failed..so i think these Zee people do all these nasty thing..it should be stopped
unfortunately the Most of the Indian Media houses are irresponsible towards the Citizen of India. They only show what they believe is correct and are always one sided. They are always far from the actual truth highlight only that benefits their state holders or advertisers. They are the writers, actors and directors of their own script and they also become the Judge by giving one sided judgment. Their should be a strict regulatory bodies which should tame these News channels. In My opinion News Channels should restrict themselves with Political, business, Economical, Social and sports News. Entertainment Time slot should be abolished.
