No game-fixing in the PBA, says Allado

MANILA, Philippines—There is no game-fixing in the PBA.

That was what Barako Bull’s Don Allado assured, retracting his previous accusations about the league, following a meeting with PBA Commissioner Chito Salud Thursday morning.

“There’s no game fixing in the PBA, and there never was,” said Allado in a press conference at the PBA office in Libis. “I hope the fans can forgive me for what happened.”

Stirring great controversy, Allado issued an apology Wednesday night and also deleted all the tweets—one of which was accusing the PBA of controlling “who is in and who is out.”

Salud also stressed that there is no game fixing in the league, especially involving the office of the commissioner.

Allado is facing stiff sanctions— a lifetime ban as one of the options—for his statements, and the details of his punishment will be announced Thursday afternoon.

    di man ako nakatapos ng High School,  at di rin ako nakatrabaho sa magandang opisina at regular na position.  Pero hindi ako kasing *****BOBO***** na tatlong bises nyang sinabi MERON, tapos pinabayad pa siya ng Php500k at tapos naka-BAN at di maka-paglaro ngayon sinabi nya na WALANG NANGYARI… BOBO..BOBO..BOBO..BOBO at lalong BOBO ang naniwala nito.  Mga PBA Player, Coaches, Referees at mga HEAD ano masabi nyo totoo ba o hindi?

    A statement and confirmation long awaited by the public…

    DAMAGE DONE…

    It’s just a matter of common sense why he retracted.

    Well, “Allado is facing stiff sanctions— a lifetime ban as one of the options—for his statements.” – Meaning he is not (financially) prepared for the consequences of his words and action.

    The PBA Mafias were busted.

    Let’s just all play Dota or NBA basketball in our playstation.

    No foolishness, no game fixing.

        Gary, it’s a common knowledge, “game fixing” is going on sa PBA, panahon pa ng YCO at CRISPA, wala lang maglakas ng loob na na magpakabayani para matigil na ang kalukuhang ito.

  • boypalaban
