Former New Zealand cricketer Daryl Tuffey "unequivocally" denies allegations he has been involved in match or spot fixing.
Tuffey, one of three players, along with Lou Vincent and Chris Cairns who was identified by the New Zealand Herald late last year as being under investigation by the International Cricket Council, issued a statement today.
Tuffey said, through his lawyers, Kennedys in Sydney, that he regarded allegations as "the most serious kind".
"Since the commencement of this matter earlier this year to date Mr Tuffey or his lawyers have not been presented with a single scintilla of evidence to substantiate these claims," the statement read.
"Mr Tuffey is naturally frustrated by the unsubstantiated attacks on his good name levelled by a few self-interested individuals."
