The Premier League are to investigate
Cardiff City's claims that their starting
XI was leaked to Crystal Palace earlier
this month.
Reports on Friday suggested Cardiff
owner Vincent Tan had written to the
league's chief executive Richard
Scudamore calling for an investigation
into the incident, which is alleged to
have occurred prior to the Welsh
club's 3-0 home defeat to Palace on
April 5.
The Selhurst Park outfit's sporting
director Iain Moody, formerly of
Cardiff, was reportedly accused of
obtaining information by underhand
means, but described the allegations
as "incredibly, extraordinarily untrue".
Moody said he sought to get as much
information as possible on Palace's
opposition but insisted his work
crossed no boundaries.
"That is untrue, completely untrue.
Absolutely not - not under any
circumstances," he told The Sun.
However, the Premier League have
now confirmed it will be looking into
the issue.
Cardiff, who are also said to be taking
action against two employees over the
incident, currently sit three points
adrift of Premier League safety.
