Nigerian Footballer, Ike Uche In Match-fixing Scandal by nickxtra(m): 8:57pm On Oct 02, 2014
Nigerian striker, Ike Uche and his team mates have been mentioned in a match-fixing scandal, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
Uche’s club then Real Zaragoza beat Levante 2-1 on the final day of the 2010/11 season to avoid relegation, while Levante and Deportivo La Coruna were demoted as a result.
Atletico Madrid captain Gabi, who scored Zaragoza’s two goals on that fateful day, confessed to a judge Thursday he was aware the match was fixed.
“I just did what the club asked me to do,” the 29-year-old  midfielder  simply said in court, according to  El  Mundo.
It is suspected that Levante players were paid to lose the match.
And the spotlight of this trial has fallen on  Agapito  Iglesias, the then  owner of Zaragoza, Leonardo Ponzio, Leo Franco and Uche, according to El Mundo.
The  prosecutor  wants  to question at least  20 players  in this match-fixing trial. Source: Vanguard

You won your match and they still question you for match fixing.

Do they expect you to lose your match before?

They should focus their attention on Levante, abeg.
