Don Allado Faces P.5-M Fine, 1 PBA Conference Ban and Possible Retraction of Contract
After his controversial rant on Twitter accusing the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) of game fixing shortly after his team Barako Bull failed to win against Powerade team, Don Allado now faces a one-conference ban from PBA, a ₱500,000 fine, and a possible rejection of his contract with Barako Bull.
Allado was caught posting the following messages on Twitter which he retracted after meeting with PBA commissioner Chito Salud on Thursday, July 5:
I can accept losing to teams. But I can't accept losing because of referees. I am bitter about losing. Not to Powerade, but to PBA. In my opinion, the league has little credibility left."
"I'm the guy that says what others can't. #PBA games are fixed. They control who is in & who is out. It's a disgrace to be in this league."
According to the PBA, the ₱300,000 portion of his .5-million fine will be given to the players' educational trust fund and the remaining P200,000 to a charitable institution of Allado's choice.
