A normal week: biffo, match-fixing, drug claims "You should be ashamed": Mario Balotelli. Blues fight back, Gallen just fights ... Brave Socceroos stumble in Saitama ... Forceful entrance for the Lions ... Stuart puts dozen on the chopping block ... Cricket's still the One ... Mattner hangs up his boots ... Martinez the new Toffee. He's been protective about his code in the face of rivals incursion into AFL's mecca but now Andrew Demetriou's paranoia is taking an internal focus. The AFL chief executive revealed that he had the boardroom swept for listening devices before every meeting during negotiations over broadcast deals fearful that information would be leaked to the media, rival businesses or even other sports organisations. "It's not about who you might suspect," Demetriou told SEN radio. The information that we hold is very commercially sensitive ... and we do go through the proper risk management. Demetriou would not reveal if any devices were found. A Russian tennis player was banned for life and slapped with a fine of more than $60,000 for match fixing after he was found guilty of 41 counts of rule violations. The Tennis Anti-Corruption Unit found Russia's Sergei Krotiouk tried to influence the outcome of matches held between 2012-13 by attempting to "solicit or facilitate any player to not use his or her best efforts in any event." An Australian electricity monitor revealed that the demand for power in NSW and Queensland was directly influenced by flashpoints of Wednesday's Origin opener. The spikes, troughs and slides of energy usage was attributed to all the major moments of the match, including both tries, half-time and the game's finale. Both states turned off their appliances and dimmed the lights after kick-off but the kettles were suddenly switched after Jennings scored the Blues' second try. At half-time both audiences showed a sudden demand. After the despair of losing, Queenslanders were quicker to resume their electricity take-up as full-time neared while NSW fans spent more time in front of the television instead of returning to their computers. Mario Balotelli is no stranger to accusations but the controversial Italian footballer has faced perhaps his harshest yet after a Mafia informant alleged that he was involved in drug dealing. During a trial for money laundering, a member of the Naples-based crime organisation, La Camorra, suggested Balotelli sold drugs to an addict as a joke in 2011 in the presence of senior members of the syndicate. Armando De Rosa, a gangster-turned-informant, said he met Balotelli with members of two clans and alleged the player tried to surprise a customer with his presence when handing over a dose of drugs. Balotelli strongly denied the accusations this week in a tweet later pulled from his account. Ah ... so now I'm a drug dealer. You should be ashamed. You are using my name just to publicise yourselves," he wrote. Balotelli has not been charged or questioned by authorities. "That's just Origin," said NSW coach Laurie Daley in response to the brawl sparked by Paul Gallen's left jab. Though, he was wrong. Brawls aren't just for Origin or even fiery parochial contests as competitors in a friendly amputee football match proved. A game between The Netherlands and Belgium was aimed at promoting sport among disadvantaged athletes but ended in a violent all-in brawl after a Dutch player took extra offence to a challenge from his opponent. The showdown kicked-off when several players were hauled to the ground amid kicks, punches and swipes of crutches. It took a nasty turn when spectators and coaches ran in with fly-kicks and a few right hooks with more venom than some of the best biffs in Origin history. Search: Amputee soccer brawl.
