Softball: Canadian softball allegations rejected

3.00pm

The Black Sox have been cleared of any wrongdoing during the final of the World Softball Championships in Christchurch.

Two Canadian players had accused the kiwi side of cheating during the decider.

Jody Eidt and Rudy Wolfe claimed the Black Sox used a video camera to film their pitching signals, and relayed them to the batsmen so they knew what to expect.

However, the International Softball Federation has rejected the claim.

In a statement, ISF President Don Porter has announced that there is no basis or evidence to prove the New Zealand side used illegal equipment to gain an advantage in the final.
