New Delhi, November 3: A visibly agitated Manoj Prabhakar today lashed out at the CBI and the government for giving a one-sided version of the match-fixing scandal investigations. ``What can I say about the ban and the CBI report. Both are one-sided. They have only gone by what the bookies told them. What about the other side of the coin? The CBI has not acted on the details I had given them. They have only come out with half truths that suits them,'' the former India all-rounder said when contacted at his residence this evening. ``It's the bookies who have destroyed the gentleman's game. I have been maintaining that from the very beginning when I came out with the statement that match-fixing has been going on in the country. But nobody believed me then. Instead of making a thorough inquiry into the whole scandal, they are now trying to destroy me and have put the entire blame on me and have made me the main culprit, which I am not,'' he added. ``From what I have learnt from the report submitted by the CBI to the government, they have acted with a single mission of protecting somebody. And the Board has fallen prey to the whimsical methods adopted by the CBI. Well, what else could one expect from these officials who have been acting worse than the bookies, to destroy and tarnish the image of the game in the country,'' he said in an angry tone.``I feel now is the time to play cricket when the game is being cleansed of all corrupt practices. I quit the game five years ago when the game was being tarnished. Now, I have been proved right although the authorities have dragged me also into it. Everybody has played a game. Good luck to them,'' he said sarcastically.Prabhakar said it was a fight between the good and the evil. ``Unfortunately, evil has triumphed here.''``In all my playing career, I had never fixed any match or taken money. I quit the game five years ago. What is the use of banning me now. The BCCI may have banned me but I am happy that I have at least made a small contribution in cleaning the game in India and abroad of corrupt practices.''``Well, this is what one gets for trying to expose the corrupt practices in the game. It is not cricket,'' Prabhakar concluded.Ajay Sharma said he had been wrongly implicated in the case. ``Is it a crime to introduce anyone to an Indian cricketer? My only crime was that I introduced someone (not knowing that he is a bookie) to Azhar. I have never been involved in match-fixing. What else can I say? My fate is bad. That is all.
