STIRLING, Scotland (AP) — The leadership of Scottish cricket has been found to be institutionally racist by an independent review. That deals another blow to the sport after a similar scandal in the English game. The review was published after a seven-month investigation sparked by allegations from Scotland internationals Majid Haq and Qasim Sheikh.

The body only partially passed the other two tests and there were 448 examples of institutional racism.
