    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">New Delhi, July 2 (IANS) Indian batsman Suresh Raina has rubbished allegations made by former cricket administrator Lalit Modi that the left-hand bat was involved in betting in Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.&nbsp;He said he was mulling legal action against the former IPL chairman for making &quot;false&quot; allegations.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modi alleged on Saturday that Indian cricketers Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and West Indian Dwayne Bravo had taken bribes from a bookie who was also a builder. The three are all members of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modi claimed through a series of tweets on Saturday that real estate tycoon Baba Diwan of HDIL.co had given apartments to the players in addition to money.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;In the wake of recent media reports about me, I would like to make my fans around the world aware and clear the air that I have always played the game in right spirit and with utmost integrity,&quot; Raina said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have never been involved in any wrong doing and all allegations against me are false. Playing cricket is my passion for whichever team I have represented. I&#39;m also figuring out my legal rights to take the right steps ahead in this matter.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modi also said when he was the IPL chief he &quot;had banned him (Baba) from bidding for any IPL team&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modi claimed that Diwan was a good friend of Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra, who have been implicated in the 2013 IPL betting and match fixing case by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also posted a letter which he claimed he wrote to International Cricket Council CEO Dave Richardson in June 2013, passing on all the information and urging him to act upon it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ICC on Sunday acknowledged having received Modi&#39;s confidential e-mail and sharing it with the Indian cricket board&#39;s anti-corruption unit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ICC said the information was also provided to its Anti Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) and it dealt with it in accordance with its procedures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">None of the three cricketers named by Modi have so far been interrogated or spoken to by either the BCCI or the ICC. The BCCI, infact, has given a &quot;clean chit&#39; to the three players.<\/p>\r\n",
