The Barbados Nation Report on Brian Lara handed in
20 August 2002

Barbadian Qyeen's counsel Elliott Mottley has submitted his report to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) surrounding the matter into whether star batsman Brian Lara took bribes.

Mottley conducted the investigation for the WICB after an Indian bookmaker accused Lara of taking$40 000 for playing badly. Lara denies the allegations, which came in a separate report into corruption by India's Central Bureau of Investigation, published in November 2000.

President of the WICB, Wes Hall, has reportedly received the report and is said to be studying it and will reveal his findings in the future.

"I'm currently reading the report, which is quite extensive, and then I shall be making a statement," Hall said. "Before then, I don't wish to comment on thefindings."

Other cricket boards had also commissioned similar investigations after bookmaker Mukesh Gupta made his allegations.
