The announcement came as a relief for most of the cricket fans. All racism charges against Harbhajan Singh are dropped and the tour of India will continue as planned. Three weeks after the controversy erupted, the racism charge against Harbhajan Singh was found to be not proven by Justice John Hansen, hearing the appeal, on Tuesday. Harbhajan was instead charged with a Level 2.8 offence - abuse and insult not amounting to racism - to which he pleaded guilty and was fined 50 per cent of his match fees. Justice Hansen said that he was convinced that level 3.3 offense was not proven against Bhajji, instead he can be charged under level 2.8 for which bhajji pleaded guilty. Cricket Australia spokesmen said that both the Indian and the Australian cricket boards are happy with the decision.
