ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Sydney Flames owner blasts Basketball Australia, Canberra Capitals after cheating scandal | ABC News” – below is their description.
The owner of the WNBL’s Sydney Uni Flames has blasted Basketball Australia and the Canberra Capitals in the wake of an integrity breach.
Yesterday it was revealed that WNBL referee Simon Cosier leaked confidential preseason training footage of the Flames to rival Capitals coach Paul Goriss ahead of the teams’ round one clash.
Basketball Australia suspended Mr Cosier for the entire season, and sidelined Mr Goriss until January 20 — but found the Capitals gained “no actual advantage” from the tapes.
The finding prompted a furious response from Flames owner Paul Smith, who said the leak, and yesterday’s findings, “strike at the heart of integrity”.
