Not saying Amir is innocent in this, all am saying is that we don't know if he was threatened behind the scene to play it out, either from the bookies or his dear old captain. Bottom line is, bookies/teammates could Infact threaten/don't leave them with choices sometimes. Players could feel caged. If after reporting, they can't find any security from icc/own board, these kind of situation will occur over and over again.
