Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa tore into Michael Clarke after the former Australian captain uploaded a video of the infamous Slapgate incident involving S. Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh without prior permission. The 39-year-old went as far as saying that people who are not `brown-skinned` can `get away with` treating `people like crap`.
“That whole Slaggate thing that happened in the IPL. What the f*** man? How does someone get away with stuff like that?" Uthappa said on the Kim-Appa show with Jarrod Kimber. “Now, imagine we put up a clip of something that an Australian did that was offensive, that was kept under wraps for the respect of that whole situation, to save the respect of that situation, which is an impulsive, bad decision that a human being made…Now that you have gone and interviewed someone, and you have got access to the file, do you think you have the right to publish it, put that into the world, and make those two people go through that whole emotion, that raw emotion, 20 years later?"
