...all the panes of glass are in danger of shattering. Including the ones in your own house:
Cricket whistleblower Azeem Rafiq has been accused of sending 'creepy' Whatsapp messages to a teenage girl who has gone public with her allegations.
Gayathri Ajith, 16 at the time, told the Yorkshire Post she received texts from the former Yorkshire cricketer about kissing her and inviting her to dinner after meeting her on a flight from Manchester to Dubai in 2015.
Oh dear oh dear...
The row over Mr Rafiq’s racism allegations against players and officials at Yorkshire County Cricket Club took another twist last night with claims that he had been the victim of a dirty tricks campaign.
Really?
A Commons source has said that on the eve of Mr Rafiq’s appearance before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee last week, a senior sporting figure made allegations to members of the committee about aspects of Mr Rafiq’s lifestyle.
The source said: ‘They made various allegations about his private life and told us that as a result we shouldn’t trust his evidence.'
Turns out that person was quite right...
It was very brave of him to keep schtum during all of his well paid career and then kvetch once he had become a has-been.
ReplyDeleteThe girl's claim trumps his racist card. Female, juvenile and a good race.
What is Yiddish for Karma, or schadenfreude?
Before speaking to MPs did he have to take a hypocritic oath?
ReplyDeleteHe was also drinking alcohol with her, which makes his claims about being teetotal and having been 'forced' to drink wine by his teammates somewhat suspect as well.
