    NEW DELHI: Referring to reports of inquiry into allegations of match and spot fixing the Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry said today that ?as there is a conflict of interest in this inquiry, the BCCI President should tender his resignation on moral grounds pending the outcome of the inquiry.?

    Observing that it had witnessed various reports on the subject ?with considerable disquiet?, the Ministry said it was in favour of a law to curb malpractices in all sports. It will therefore send its comments on the bill drafted by the Law Ministry in this regard.

    It is looking forward to working with the Law Ministry and other stakeholders for the development of a comprehensive law against match and spot fixing.

    Referring to reports that it was in favour of a law regularising betting in the sporting events in the country, the Ministry clarified that betting was a State Subject and cannot be part of a Central law.

    The Ministry has made no recommendations to regularise betting to the Law Ministry or to any other organisation.
