For the book

Finnish soccer authorities said on Friday they suspect a recent championship division match was fixed, and have handed over the case to police for further investigations. The crisis began when reigning champions Haka Valkeakoski beat last season's runners-up Allianssi Vantaa 8-0 on July 7 in a match which attracted far heavier betting than usual, mostly on the Asian markets.
