Chirayu Amin : The New IPL Chairman,Lalith Modi Suspanded
The decision to appoint Amin was taken at the crucial meeting of the IPL Governing Council, which lasted close to one and a half hour.
Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Manohar said Modi would be charged on five counts - shady initial bids of Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, a suspect broadcast deal with Sony, bid rigging of two new franchises this year and his behavioural pattern.
"The chargesheet was discussed and the Committee also appointed Chirayu Amin as the interim chairman. BCCI CAO Ratnakar Shetty will look into all the records," Manohar said.
Manohar also said that some important documents were missing from the Board and IPL offices.

MS Dhoni | Dhoni Banned
|
MS Dhoni, India's captain, has been banned for two ODIs because India maintained slow over-rate during the second match against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. The penalty is more severe than the usual monetary fines because India were found to be three overs short, which comes under the "serious over-rate offence" category. The ban is effective immediately, which means Dhoni will be unavailable for the games in Cuttack and Kolkata, returning only for the final ODI in Delhi. Virender Sehwag will captain the side in his absence.
Falling short by up to two overs in an ODI, and five in a Test day, is considered a "minor offence", and merits a ban only if the offence is repeated twice in 12 months. On Friday night, though, India finished their 50 overs about 45 minutes after the scheduled finish. That just about pushed it too far, and match referee Jeff Crowe had no choice but to impose a ban. If India repeat a serious over-rate offence in any form of the game within the next 12 months, Dhoni could earn himself a ban of two to eight ODIs or one to four Tests.
Dhoni had been informed of the ban verbally, BCCI vice president Rajiv Shukla confirmed. The rest of the Indian players were fined 40% of their match fee for the offence - 10% each for the first two overs of minor offence and 20% each for every subsequent over. The BCCI has also stated that it will not appeal against the ban.
"We have received information that the match referee has put a two-ODI ban on Dhoni for slow over-rate," Ratnakar Shetty, BCCI's chief administrative officer, said. "We are waiting for a formal communication on this. We will look into details and then make further comments."
Earlier on the tour, Kumar Sangakkara too came close to getting banned when Sri Lanka were found to be two overs short during the second Twenty20 international in Mohali. Sangakkara was fined 40% of his match fee while the rest of the team was docked 20% each, but Crowe said Sangakkara escaped a much bigger penalty. "Kumar was kept informed throughout the match by the on-field umpires of where his team was with its over-rate," Crowe said. "Under the revised code of conduct, Sri Lanka was very close to being three overs behind and charged for a Serious Over Rate Offence which would have resulted in its captain being suspended in the next two ODIs." Within the next 12 months, Sri Lanka can afford to repeat this minor offence once. Third strike, and Sangakkara will be out for a game.

UFC 106 Results | UFC
In a rematch of their memorable 2006 fight in Anaheim, former UFC light-heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz of Huntington Beach and Forrest Griffin of Las Vegas renewed acquaintances in Ortiz's UFC comeback fight following a contract split last year.
Griffin dominated the third and final round, blitzing Ortiz with hard rights to the face and combinations that included hard shots to the body and tough kicks to the left leg. Ortiz was cut under the left eye in the round and sustained some good combinations.
The judges saw it like this: split-decision win for Griffin.
Ortiz, as usual, had a memorable ring entrance with Eminem blaring at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, waving the American flag.
First round:
Ortiz takes a right standing up, but charges and lands a right. Ortiz takes down Griffin and tries to ground and pound with some elbows flying. Griffin gets up, the pair end up reversing each other against the cage.
Griffin kicks Ortiz in the left leg, like he did against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Griffin hits Ortiz with a right-left combo punch to face. Ortiz misses a takedown. Both guys jab.
I give the round to Griffin.
Second round:
Ortiz takes down Griffin, smacks him with elbows. Griffin gets back up. Griffin kicks Ortiz in the mouth, knocking out Tito's mouthpiece. Tito takes down Griffin again, Griffin playing defense on ground versus former CIF champion wrestler.
Ortiz sends some elbows and fists to Griffin's face on the mat. Griffin's cut under the left eye, and now has a nasty cut at the right eye. Gushing everywhere. Griffin reverses Ortiz, trying to win round. Some pushing post-bell.
I give the round to Ortiz.
-----
The co-main event, a welterweight clash pitting San Jose fighters Anthony Johnson and Josh Koscheck, will put the winner in prime position for a title shot at champion Georges St-Pierre.
Koscheck initially got the better of stand-up striking exchanges before Johnson popped in two jabs. Johnson slipped a clench, but then committed a rule-breaking violation by sending a right knee toward Koscheck's head.
Kneeing on the mat, Koscheck appeared to have got his arm up in time to deflect the blow toward his right eye. Referee Mario Yamasaki stopped the action and deducted a point from Johnson for the illegal knee. A ringside doctor was summoned and reported to the ref that Koscheck had "blurry vision as a result of the foul."
Still, the fight resumed and Koscheck turned to wrestling. Johnson was seen with a small cut over the left eye.
In the second round, Johnson was poked in the left eye twice in the first minutes. Both fighters had a lively exchange of blows in the center of the octagon. Koscheck got Johnson on his back and sent a few damaging elbows to the 25-year-old's head.
Koscheck (12-4) maneuvered behind Johnson (8-3), squeezing under Johnson's thin tight, forcing Johnson to tap out by the rear naked chokehold with 13 seconds left in the round.
Koscheck called out Dan Hardy, ridiculing his status as the top welterweight contender afterward.
"He ain't fought nobody like me," Koscheck told Joe Rogan in the postfight interview.
UFC 106 is loaded with welterweight action, and the third of four bouts featured Brazil's Paulo Thiago (12-1) vs. Minnesota's Jacob Volkmann (9-1).
Thiago cut the bridge of Volkmann's nose early in the bout, then capped the first round with a right to the face that knocked him down. Thiago again sent Volkmann to the canvas with a kick to the body early in the second. The stronger Thiago also battered Volkmann on the mat.
Volkmann had a few moments of challenging Thiago, getting him in a choke late in the third, but it was too little, and the Brazilian won a unanimous decision.
The UFC sneaked in some undercard pre-pay-per-view bouts on the broadcast, in which welterweight Ben Saunders delivered two brutal knees to the face of Marcus Davis, ending the fight 3:24 into the first round.
Middleweight Kendall Grove used his long legs to force Jake Rosholt to tap out due to triangle choke 3:59 into the first round.
The pay-per-view portion began with a welterweight bout between Phil Baroni and Amir Sadollah.
Baroni, in his return to the UFC following a four-year absence and stint in Elite Xtreme Combat, came out punching, but couldn't sustain the effort and started taking a slew of knees from Muay Thai specialist Sadollah (2-1). A monster right from Sadollah cut Baroni near the left eye.
Sadollah remained on the attack to start the second, Baroni noticeably tired in the second, taking a wicked right kick to the left leg. His corner urged Baroni to "take [Sadollah] out" in the third, but Sadollah clearly had that same notion in mind. Baroni sustained a big gash on his forehead. Sadollah continued the pounding in the final minutes, a severe test of Baroni's toughness but a testament to Sadollah's overall skills.
A tremendous effort by Saddolah (3-1), confirmed by his unanimous-decision triumph as Baroni drops to 13-12.
A light-heavyweight battle between Luiz Cane and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, the brother of the former heavyweight champ, ends quickly as the veteran Nogueira unloaded five big left-handed punches to open the fight, the last of which was the most devastating and led to a technical knockout called 1:56 into the first round.
In his UFC debut, Nogueira (18-3) had an impressive corner, including his brother Antonio Rodrigo and middleweight champ Anderson Silva.
