A special committee set up to investigate the Seibu Lions' scouting scandal has finished its activities, reporting no new improper money deals.
The committee, headed by Keio University professor emeritus Masaru Ikei, instead proposed Wednesday that the Pacific League club realign its in-house structure and establish new compliance rules in order to avoid a repetition of such a scandal. "The lack of morality we see in Japanese society is no exception in baseball circles," Ikei said.
