Some sections of the British media are making such claims that could help Mohammad Aamer get off the hook.

The eighteen year old fast bowler was picked up for questioning by the Scotland Yard along with Salman Butt, the Pakistan Test captain, and fellow fast bowler, albeit veteran by standards, Mohammad Asif, over spot fixing charges emerging from the fourth Test at Lord's in the England Pakistan Test series.
While the trio are now in Pakistan, Aamer is said to be contemplating coming clean on the scandal and reporting to the ICC as well as the police any suspicious activity or coercive efforts that may have forced him into the dark world of match fixing. With life ban being contemplated for those found guilty, Aamer may be looking for a respite.
However, thus far, the trio have maintained their innocence since Mazhar Majeed's revealations and their board and the government have stood by the innocent-until-proven-guilty stance.
