French mess
France's double Olympic handball champion Nikola Karabatic and 11 others held for match-fixing allegations
Police said yesterday they had detained 12 people for questioning in connection with allegations of match-fixing in French handball, including double Olympic gold medal winner Nikola Karabatic.
A police source said those questioned were eight players for Montpellier, including Karabatic and his brother Luka, two players for Paris Saint-Germain formerly with Montpellier, a member of staff for Montpellier and a player's girlfriend.
Five of the Montpellier players, including Nikola Karabatic, Wissem Hmam, Michael Robin, Dragan Gajic and Primoz Prost, were put into police cars and driven away in a convoy, an AFP journalist at the scene said.
The team's physiotherapist, Yann Montiege, also left with police.
The players were questioned in their dressing rooms at the Pierre de Coubertin stadium in Paris immediately following a match between Montpellier and Paris Saint-Germain, a source close to the players said.
An AFP journalist at the stadium earlier saw plain-clothes police showing badges to guards to enter the stadium.
The French professional handball scene was thrown into turmoil Wednesday after an investigation was ramped up into giants Montpellier over alleged match-fixing and illegal betting.
The south coast club has dominated French handball for the last 15 years, and officials were quick to protest the innocence of their players, many of whom starred for the France team that won Olympic gold at the London Games. Suspicions were raised over a match that Montpellier lost 31-28 to Cesson-Sevigne on May 12. At the time, Montpellier were assured of a 13th league title in 15 seasons while the Breton club sat in eighth position.
Betting firm La Francaise des Jeux (FDJ) at the time reported abnormal betting patterns up to five times greater than expected and suspended bets during the match.
Large bets reportedly came in at half-time on a loss for Montpellier, for whom the Karabatic brothers, Mladen Bojinovic, Vid Kavticnik and Samuel Honrubia were not playing because of injury.

Hester tied Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' all-time NFL mark of 19 return touchdowns, which includes returns of punts, kickoffs, missed field goals, fumbles and interceptions.
|Devin Hester tied Deion Sanders with the 19th return TD of his career in Sunday's loss to the Redskins. Click to view photos from the game.
With his 81-yard return in the second quarter Sunday, Hester added to two league records he already held for punt return touchdowns (now 13) and combined kick return TDs (18).
Hester caught Sav Rocca's 53-yard punt at his own 19-yard line just inside the left sideline. He then sprinted all the way across the field and picked up a convoy of blockers down the right sideline.
"It was designed to go right," Hester said. "We practiced on it every day. We knew their kicker kind of tends to punt it to our left. We just wanted to make sure when we got that opportunity that we sealed the gunner backside and form that wall, and that's what they did. The guys up front did a great job of setting up that wall and letting me around the corner."
The Redskins tried to keep the ball out of Hester's hands most of the day, hitting short kickoffs that were returned by Eric Weems,
"We knew that this was going to be a team that was going to keep it away from me just because of the previous weeks that they had," Hester said. "They had been struggling on special teams and we assumed that they were going to shy away from our return game. We knew we had to take advantage of the opportunity I got because we knew we weren't going to get that many."
Thrice as nice:
Forte's TDs came on runs of 2, 50 and 6 yards. He now has rushed for six touchdowns this season, one more than his total from all of last year and two shy of his career high set as a rookie in 2008.
