La Liga head makes match-fixing claim

Spanish league president Javier Tebas says that at least eight matches in Spain's top two divisions are fixed each season. Speaking on the BBC's World Football Show, Tebas also called for lifetime bans for those involved in match-fixing. He said: "Between the first and second divisions, around eight to 10 games have been manipulated [per season]. "If they do not eradicate it immediately, the infection will grow." Tebas, who is in charge of Spain's top two flights, so told the Leaders in Football conference event in London, through a translator, that he believed the main problem was coming from an international mafia.
