Former South African Cricket Captain Graeme Smith Cleared of Racism

Former South African Cricket Captain and director Graeme Smith said he is happy with the independent arbitration outcome that cleared him of all racism charges on Monday.

Two independent lawyers ruled on the allegations and found no evidence of racism against Smith.

The investigations looked into claims that he used his influence to ensure a black player wasn’t selected while leading the team a decade ago.

He was also accused of being racially biased against Black colleagues in his role as South Africa’s Director of Cricket.
