A week after 74 people were killed and hundreds more injured when Al-Masry fans attacked Al-Ahly

which turned a $631 million profit between 2007 and 2010, announced it will donate $250,000 to the
families of the victims.

Aziz Yildirim, Fenerbahce's president and the most prominent name amongst the 93 arrested on
charges of match fixing finally had his day in court this week. At least 19 first and second
division matches in the Turkish Lig are said to be fixed.
Chinese authorities aren't fooling around when it comes to punishing those who fix soccer games.
While some countries give out shorter sentences for murder, China sentenced a former member of its
soccer association on Feb. 18 to 12 years behind bars for taking bribes and fixing the outcome of
games.
