Former Portsmouth defender Sam Sodje and his brother Stephen plan to pursue legal action against the Fake Sheikh Mazher Mahmood. Investigative journalist Mahmood - who had worked for The Sun on Sunday newspaper - was convicted of perverting the course of justice this week.Sam Sodje was among 13 footballers arrested in 2013 for spotfixing following a sting by Mahmood before the case later collapsed due to a lack of evidence. In the aftermath of his arrest, Sodje claims both that his negotiations with Portsmouth over a new contract broke down and that he had to retire as he could not get a deal at another club.The 37-year-old and his sibling had been flown to Dubai believing they were travelling there to discuss a possible charity football match which would benefit their charity, the Sodje Foundation. Sodje played for a number of clubs, including Charlton, but claims he could not get another club after his arrest Sodje claims conversation turned to match fixing and Mahmood filmed him saying he had accepted a £70,000 payment to get deliberately sent off against Oldham.He punched opponent Jose Baxter twice in the groin during the fixture in February 2013 and was consequently dismissed five minutes into the second half of a 1-0 defeat at Boundary Park.Sam Sodje - who stopped playing the following summer - told Sky Sports News HQ: No amount of money you pay will give me back what Ive lost.Its not really about the money. Its about the principle. You cant just do that to people. Everything Ive worked as a young man - trying to be good to society and working really hard - he took everything away.

The Mariners placed Hart on the 15-day disabled list before Tuesday nights game at Texas. They recalled infielder-outfielder Nick Franklin from Triple-A Tacoma. The 32-year-old Hart injured his leg swiping second during the fourth inning of the Mariners 6-2 victory at Minnesota on Sunday. He has appeared in 37 games, hitting .209 with five home runs and 17 RBIs. With no one other natural DH on the roster, manager Lloyd McClendon said he will mix and match to fill Harts vacancy in the batting order. "We all agree we dont have a prototypical No.dddddddddddd 4 hitter," McClendon said. "We dont have a guy thats going to hit 40 home runs. Well do the best we can." Franklin was leading the Pacific Coast League in hitting at .376. Hes a natural second baseman who played three infield positions, the outfield and served as the DH over six appearances for Seattle during a brief April call-up. McClendon said Franklin will again float around multiple positions, including second base when Robinson Cano occupies the designated hitter spot. "A lot of it depends on his legs," McClendon said of Cano, 31. "I know he prefers to play the field." ' ' ' was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in a four-player trade last June. ' ' '
