A British man accused of "courtsiding" by sending live point-by-point information to an English betting agency during the Australian Open tennis tournament Thursday had the charge against him dropped, reports said. Daniel Dobson, 22, had been accused of using a device hidden in his shorts and hooked up to a mobile phone to send point updates from the Grand Slam to Britain before they were available through official channels.
But the charge of engaging in conduct that would corrupt a betting outcome was formally withdrawn in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said.
