FORMER New Zealand allrounder Chris Cairns has been awarded libel damages of 90,000 pounds (US$140,000) from a British court following allegations by deposed IPL commissioner Lalit Modi that he fixed matches. A judge at London's High Court said Modi "singularly failed" to provide any reliable evidence against Cairns, having claimed in a Twitter post in 2010 that he had been barred from the IPL due to "his past record in match-fixing." The judge said that Modi's accusation was "as serious an allegation as anyone could make against a professional sportsman."
