The best way to prove innocence these days is to make a movie or documentary which twists facts to the contrary and hence proves innocence. In this case, a second movie was made produced directly/indirectly by the cricketer on whose life the movie was based. Then the cricketer achieved 'holier than thou' status.
Here are some facts :-
1) The Justice Mudgal committee report (~5000 pages) was never made public. Only a summary was made available to the public. Even then names were not mentioned in this summary and individuals were referred by numbers.
2) Only certain small fish got punished. The big fish (people who were part of the national cricket team for example) got away and got away big time.
Thus the only way to prove or disprove the innocence of anyone was hence taken away. If someone was really innocent, he/she would have strongly taken it up in the court for the document to be released so that his/her name gets cleared. Nothing such was done and the case was closed and thus all the big fish got acquitted. All the black money made via betting remained in their accounts. The team of cheats got away when they should have been banned for life.
