Ban pleas denied

FORMER Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif have lost their appeals against lengthy bans for spot-fixing in a test against England. The Court of Arbitration for Sport says its panel dismissed the challenges of the two players to bans imposed by the International Cricket Council. CAS confirmed former captain Butt lost his appeal against a 10-year ban while Asif failed to overturn a seven-year suspension. Butt, Asif and teammate Mohammad Amir were convicted in an English criminal trial of arranging to bowl no-balls for betting scams during an August 2010 match at Lord's.
