ICC's final capitulation to the BCCI bullies

Not that I didn't figure it would happen but... Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has been cleared of 'racial abuse' during the 2nd Aus v. India match, though he has pleaded guilty to the lower level charge of using abusive language.

Sooo... after claiming he did not say anything offensive, now he's admitting that he did say something offensive but the ICC's ball-less drones have decided in their infinite wisdom that it was not 'racist'?

So, what exactly did Harbhajan say? Did he actually call Symmonds a monkey, after being told by Symmonds himself back in October that he considered it offensive and racist?

Because he is acknowledging that he called Symmonds something.

As Guardian blogger Andy Bull commented:

Dirt is being swept underneath the carpet here, and the bulge is starting to show.


Disgusting.
