Lou Vincent: I am a cheat, admits New Zealand batsman

Former New Zealand batsman Lou Vincent has admitted he is a "cheat" who has "shamed" the sport.

The 35-year-old is co-operating with anti-corruption officials from both the International Cricket Council and the England and Wales Cricket Board relating to allegations of spot-fixing.
In a statement he said: "My name is Lou Vincent and I am a cheat.
"I have shamed my country. I have shamed my sport. I have shamed those close to me. For that I am not proud."
Vincent, who played 23 Tests and 102 one-day internationals for New Zealand between 2001-2007, appeared in county cricket in England for Sussex, Lancashire, Northamptonshire and Worcestershire.
He was charged by the ECB under their anti-corruption code in May and is expected to receive a life ban from the sport.
In June he was banned by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for three years for failing to report an approach from match fixers.
"I have abused my position as a professional sportsman on a number of occasions by choosing to accept money through fixing," his statement continued.
"I have lived with this dark secret for many years, but just months ago I reached the point where I decided I had to come forward and tell the truth."
