No Ball?

1st the no-ball in srilanka and then the no-ball fixing in Pakistan. Quite a shameful act.
The most painful part is how did the officials or the management no know about this or were they involved?
Excerpts from hindustantimes :
Interestingly, during the Asia Cup in Dambulla this June, Pakistan teenager Md Amir, one of the three players named by middleman Mazhar Majeed to England's News of the World tabloid as being involved in spot-fixing, was caught on camera holding what looked like a cell phone.
This was later denied officially, and it was (rather vaguely) said that what looked like a mobile was actually Amir fixing the grill of his helmet. Incidentally, this game is one of the four that Majeed claimed he "fixed".
This incident surely indicates involvement of the officials in this.
1 good thing out of this controversy is the no. of NO BALLS being bowled is going to drop. or may be no?
