Sammy Sodje Fingered In Match Fixing Scandal

The National Crime Agency is investigating a report by British newspaper The Sun which claimed that Nigeria international Sam Sodje could influence the outcome of matches in return for a fee.

The 34 - year - old defender claimed that he could arrange for a player to be booked in exchange for 30,000 pounds.

In the same vein, Sodje said that he received 70,000 pounds for being sent off in February when Portsmouth lost 1 - 0 to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park.

The Super Eagle hit Oldham midfielder Jose Baxter in the groin to get sent off .

Sam Sodje, now a free agent, has had spells with Reading, Charlton Athletic and Notts County.
