Cops raid London clubs


British detectives raided three football clubs Monday as part of a probe into alleged corruption in the game, police said.

The City of London Police did not disclose which clubs were involved or which leagues they were in.

The raids took place between 7:30am and 9:00am (0630-0800 GMT) and were not connected to Lord John Stevens' ongoing Quest inquiry into the English Premiership.

"We can confirm that search warrants were served at three football clubs and the homes of two individuals in connection with corruption in football and its impact on owners and shareholders," a spokeswoman said.
