A corrupt referee who directs NBA, is accused to fix
parties of the league of more famous Básquetbol of the globe. The
fact already arrived at the Congress of the EE.UU., because Bobby Rush, member of the commerce subcommittee and consumption, requested to meet with David Stern, a commissioner of NBA, to interiorisar itself on the subject, that has been transformed into a true scandal. The democratic politician requested to meet with the commissioner of North American Liga of Básquetbol, to know all the details thorough the episode, that involves a referee who fixed
parties. “He is one of the most harmful scandals in the history of the sport of the United States of North America”, wrote in a letter the democratic politician who sent to him to Stern and that also sent copy to the press of that country, according to DPA information. The referee, defendant of
corruption, take to 13 seasons directing the parties of NBA; consequently Tim Donaghy, has initiated what can be denominated like in the greater crisis in the history of NBA. The authorities are investigating the calls of the referee who could have made, to alter the result of some encounter of the parties in which he and their partners had bet. The subject at issue would have begun when the referee could not pay his debts of game, consequently did not see better exit, than to embrace this lamentable unsportsmanlike attitude; the “partners” of Donaghy, would be gangster groups, that are tie with the organized crime, the clandestine game and the prostitution of North America. The referee at issue, undergoes compulsive gambling, a disease of the compulsive player, who feels an uncontrollable necessity to play, ignoring any negative consequence. That disease does not allow him to measure the consequences. That addition to the game, is an upheaval recognized by the World-wide Organization of Salud (OSM), that leaves to that classification the International of Diseases from year 1992. I want to put record that I have been player of Básquetbol, for 25 years of my life and if there is something difficult to fix is a party, because the space very is reduced; the field has 14 meters wide by 28 of wide, and all the movements are detected perfectly of which the ten players within the playground do; talvez a referee can influence in the last seconds of the game, receiving a nonexistent infraction, being a party as much to as much and that changes to luck of both equipment, is very difficult to do it, but the worse thing of the case is that after 13 years of performance, just now it has been detected, talvez the debts contracted in its life of better has taken it to the abyss of the corruption. Or what is worse in these cases it is that it is stained once again to the sport like discipline in where the genuine effort must offer the victory, although already in wing NBA, antidoping is known is no control. Very badly Donaghy, very badly, you had to think about the children and the young people whom they have to that sport as show window and takes it like example to be able to project in the life. The things are not made thus; you did not have to do it, now already it is behind schedule and that error you will not be able to amend it. There are things that the society does not pardon and the corruption is one of them. North American justice must apply all the weight of the law, so that other similar cases, because are not repeated a wanderer does not do to the summer. All the referees are not corrupt, in any case this one must be the “black ewe” of so worthy sport. The corruption is sister of the swindle. Remember it.
