SINGAPORE (Reuter): Three men were on Friday charged with offering a Philippines soccer player a bribe during the 10-nation Tiger Cup tournament in Singapore earlier this month.

Malaysian businessmen Kandasamy Karuppanb and Yam Phung Fei and Singaporean personnel manager Chong Thin Hoong were charged with offering defender Saluria Bearneza Judy $50,000 on September 6, a spokesman for the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said.

The three were alleged to have sought a 7-0 win for Singapore. The match ended 3-0.
