Hair was critical of the way the ICC dealt with such matters, saying they reacted to things rather than preventing them, saying: "The ICC are completely reactive in their way of doing things. "They say they don't have the legal powers that police have got for phone taps and that sort of thing, but I don't buy that. I reckon the ICC should be above any law if they want to tap phones to ensure that the game is clean." The ICC have announced they are urgently looking into the allegations.
