LONDON -- English soccers governing body launched a review Sunday into an escalating child sex-abuse scandal to discover what professional clubs knew about crimes being committed by coaches and what action should have been taken at the time.No such investigation was launched by The Football Association after Barry Bennell, a coach at the center of the scandal who was linked to Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra, was first convicted in the 1990s in both the United States and England for molesting players.It has taken former victims of Bennell and other coaches to waive their anonymity over the last two weeks to bring a fresh light on abuses they suffered while trying to break into professional soccer. The players union said more than 20 players had called them with allegations of abuse.With the helpline its a matter whether they wish to come out publicly or remain anonymous, Professional Footballers Association chief executive Gordon Taylor told Sky News television. This is centering for the moment on clubs Crewe Alexandra, Blackpool, Manchester City, Stoke, Leeds United and then, in the northeast Newcastle United. It would be naive to think there wont be clubs as well in all areas.Four police forces across England, including in London, have opened investigations after being contacted about Bennell and other unnamed individuals.At this time, with acknowledgement that a wide-ranging inquiry may be required in time, we are working closely with the police to support their lead investigations and must ensure we do not do anything to interfere with or jeopardize the criminal process, the FA said.Lawyer Kate Gallafent, who has experience working on child protection issues in sports, has been brought in by the FA to look into the abuse allegations and make recommendations in order to seek to ensure these situations can never be repeated.The internal review will look into what information the FA was aware of at the relevant times around the issues that have been raised in the press, what clubs were aware of, and what action was or should have been taken, the FA added in a statement.Claims have also emerged that clubs in England agreed settlements with players who suffered sexual abuse in exchange for confidentiality about the cases.I find it incredible if clubs have been paying these lads to be quiet, said Taylor, who has been involved with the PFA since 1972.The renewed focus on the ordeals suffered by footballers comes amid an official inquiry in Britain into decades of alleged child sexual abuse by powerful figures in society.The inquiry was set up following the 2011 death of entertainer Jimmy Savile, after which dozens came forward to say he had abused them. Subsequent revelations have implicated entertainers, clergy and senior politicians and the inquiry aims to find out whether British public agencies -- including the BBC, churches and political parties -- had neglected or covered up allegations of child sex abuse from the 1970s to protect politicians and others in power.We, as a country, are now having to deal with the legacy of non-recent sexual abuse and the thousands of allegations that we are now seeing across the country, said chief constable Simon Bailey, lead officer on child protection issues at the National Police Chiefs Council. We are receiving reports of abuse in all sorts of different institutions.I am not in the least bit surprised that we are now seeing the lid lifted on exploitation within the world of football and I suspect there will be other sporting governing bodies -- again in the next few days and weeks -- who will come forward and who will identify the fact that they have similar problems.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Yovani Gallardo Jersey .

Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Indias Supreme Court has reserved its judgement in the case concerning implementation of the Lodha Committee recommendations by the BCCI. There will be no further hearing in the case and the two-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justice Ibrahim Kalifulla, will submit the written judgement to the concerned parties. The judgement is likely to be delivered before July 21, the date when Justice Kalifulla retires.The hearings in the case concluded on Thursday afternoon (June 30) after senior legal counsel KK Venugopal, representing the BCCI, wrapped up his arguments. Before concluding his defence, which lasted nearly 90 minutes, Venugopal said that the BCCI was happy to implement every recommendation made by the Lodha committee barring six or seven. These included: restrictions on ministers and bureaucrats being part of the BCCI and state associations, one state, one vote, presence of a nominee of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the apex council, and an age cap of 70 years for office-bearers.In May, former BCCI president Shashank Manohar had stated five recommendations the board was opposed to: advertisements between overs during a match broadcast, one state, one vote, the presence of two members from IPL franchises on the leagues governing council, the formation of an apex council, and a cap on the tenure of the office bearers.Venugopal argued that that there could not be any judicial review of the boards activities and read out previous judgments to stress his point. He said that the BCCI was not a corporate body, but a society which is a conglomeration of members protected under Article 19 (1) (c) of the Constitution of India. The specific constitutional clause relates to the right to form an association and Venugopal said the court must not interfere with that right.The BCCI counsel said that the Indian board had already accepted and implemented most of the recommendations by the Lodha committee, such as: appointments of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer; recruitment of consultants like Pricewaterhouse Coopers to audit accounts of the BCCI and state associations; organisation of cricket camps under the guidance of former India players like Dilip Vengsarkar, Kiran More and Shiv Sunder Das in the north-eastern states under a scheme to develop the game in new areas.However, when Venugopal pointed out that the BCCI had taken action against officials of the Goa Cricket Association, who were arrested for alleged fraud, both the bench as well as amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium stated the board had failed to maintain checks and balances for a long time.Venugopal claimed the BCCI reacted proactively and swiftly as it suspended GCA president Chetan Desai from the boards marketing committee and association secretary Vinod Phadke from the information and technology committee. Incidentally, Desai, Phadke and treasurer Akbar Mulla, who was also arrested, are still office bearers in the association.Subramanium praised the BCCI for its action but pointed out that it had come a bit late. He told the court the board had done nothing for years, disbursing funds to the state associations without asking what the money was being used for, who was using it and how it was being utilised. Apart from Goa, Subramanium pointed to the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) and Saurashtra Cricket Association as examples of the boards oversight.A total of Rs 141 crore has been given tto GCA from 2010-11.dddddddddddd When Justice Mudgal was appointed (by Delhi High Court to oversee the conduct of the fourth Test against South Africa last year) he could not believe the sorry state of affairs (at the DDCA). In Saurashtra one whole family are the members of a cricket association, Subramanium told the court.He cited another example of malfeasance at DDCA, where 14 members were listed as staying at a single address that was only 48 square metres in area. How many members can live in 48 square metres? But from one such address, there are 14 members in the DDCA, Subramanium said. When Justice Thakur asked whether all 14 members were from one family, Subramanium said that was not the case: Puris, Walias, Ahluwalias, all under one roof that is only 48 square metres.Justice Thakur asked whether the big-name auditors like PWC were actually checking what the funds were being used for. If you are giving Rs 200 crore are there much verifications being done, are there safeguards against misappropriation? If you had a system in place, this [GCA] would not have happened today, Justice Thakur said. He then suggested that it was important for the board to conduct a performance audit and have a robust mechanism of safeguards in place.In fact, a performance audit is one of the recommendations made by the Lodha panel that was appointed in January 2015 by the court - in the aftermath of the investigation into the IPL 2013 corruption scandal - to examine and suggest changes to the functioning of the Indian cricket board.Venugopal said the BCCI had also taken action against associations like the Bihar Cricket Association and the Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association recently by cutting off their funds. Nalini Chidambaram, the counsel for Cricket Association for Bihar, the original petitioner in the IPL 2013 corruption case, countered Venugopal and said the board had punished the Bihar Cricket Association by actually giving them funds worth Rs 50 lakh.Justice Thakur responded to Venugopals defence by saying, Someone has swindled you. How is the BCCI claiming credit? There was no fact-finding mission set up. Now since May 10, you have been seeking utilisation certificates but what happened before that? Why were you sleeping all these years? Why were utilisation certifications not sought? You were disbursing funds without the utilisation certificates. The chief justice added that by stopping funds the BCCI was hurting the interests of the game and the players, without allowing them to flourish.The court was also shown an interview of BCCI president Anurag Thakur where he said that if the Lodha committee recommendations were adopted, it would set the BCCI back by 20 years. Send Test cricket back by 20 years, the chief justice remarked, in response.Over the last few months, the Supreme Court has been critical of the boards reluctance to adopt the Lodha recommendations. The judges have slammed the BCCIs method of disbursing funds to state associations and also rebuffed arguments made by the state associations and the board against the Lodha panel recommendations, which were made public in January this year. A month after the report, the Court also set the BCCI a deadline to make its stance clear on the recommendations or deal with the possibility of having the court implement it for them.
