Cameroon officials are to investigate claims that seven of their players were involved in match-fixing at the World Cup in Brazil.
The ethics committee of the African country's football federation will look at allegations of "fraud" by "seven bad apples" in their three group games.
The allegations have been made in a German news magazine Der Spiegel by a convicted match fixer from Singapore.
Cameroon lost all their Group A games, including a 4-0 defeat by Croatia.
The Indomitable Lions had Alex Song sent off for lashing out at Mario Mandzukic in that game, while team-mates Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Benjamin Moukandjo clashed late on in the game.
The allegations were made by convicted football match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal, who was detained by police in Finland in April on an international arrest warrant.
In a discussion with Der Spiegel, the Singaporean correctly forecast the result with Croatia and that a player would be sent off.
A statement from Cameroon's FA read: "Recent allegations of fraud around Cameroon's 2014 Fifa World Cup three preliminary games, especially Cameroon versus Croatia, as well of the 'existence of seven bad apples [in our national team]' do not reflect the values and principles promoted by our administration, in line with Fifa's code of conduct and the ethics of our nation.
"We are strongly committed to employ all means necessary to resolve this disruptive matter in the shortest delays."
Fifa did not comment on whether it was looking into the issue as football's world governing body did not want to "compromise any possible investigations".
It did, however, add: "Speaking generally, the integrity of the game is a top priority for Fifa and as such we take any allegations of match manipulation very seriously."

Wilson Raj Perumal from Singapore is a convicted match fixer
In a book published in April, Perumal claims he arranged for players from one team at the Beijing Olympics to ensure their side took the kick-off in two separate matches
The book also alleges Perumal influenced qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa


Cameroon's build up to the tournament in Brazil was marred by the players refusing to board a plane to Braziluntil a dispute over bonus payments had been settled.
A financial package was eventually agreed with Cameroon's football federation, Fecafoot, but the squad's journey to the World Cup had been delayed for almost a day.
They started the tournament with a 1-0 defeat by Mexicoprior to the loss to Croatia and being beaten 4-1 by hosts Brazil.
"Some players behaved very badly, and that's why we have conceded four goals," Cameroon head coach Volker Finke told French newspaper L'Equipeafter the Croatia defeat.
"I know that it is difficult to play with 10 men, but that is not a reason to lose it to this point.
"The game was balanced until the red card. The Croatians were more clinical in front of goal, but Cameroon also had chances to score.
"The behaviour of some of the players is really not satisfactory. Even when we were 11-a-side, it was not acceptable."
Fellow African nation Ghana is also involved in allegations over corruption.
The country's Football Association has called in the police to investigate the claims, although the GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi is to sue the Daily Telegraph newspaperover its claim he agreed for the national team to play in matches others were preparing to fix.

Hmmm

to be sincere this years fifa world cup is filled with ethical mishap

is it the referee favoritism to brazil in their first match?

is it the tussle by players to get their appearance fee?

is it the cancellation of edin dzeko's goal against nigeria?

is it the displacementof the poor brazilian masses just to host tourists?

is the use of charm by the ghananian and portugese witch doctors?

is it the diving by neymar, reuben which are always blown in their favour?

is it the addition of 6 mins extra time by the referee in holland vs mexico match?

is the dirty game that france coach played against nigeria by sacrificing blaise matuidi just to remove onazi from the pitch?

is it the british media propaganda aginst the qatar worldcup?


is it the personal interest of sepp blatter in neymar?

is it the fact that better players like jean rodrigues are not recognised so as not to discredit overhyped neymar?

is it the fact that messi fit carry ballon d'or

mikel and yobo should also be charge for match fixing, I believe yesterday's match was probably fixed.

Here the circus goes again
So it is only African nations that ALLEGEDLY fix matches
Since Der Spigel magazine had this info before hand, why didn't they blow the whistle then prior to this whole charade?!
Lubbish!

Maybe mikel and yobo fixed our own too

I thought as much, even Mikel Obi should also be investigated.

Song of all people. Meanwhile, its been officially confirmed that Keshi has quit as the Super Eagles coach. Read it here: http://www..com/keshi-resigns-as-nigeria-coachke/
