ANKARA, Turkey, July 25 (AP/UNB) - The Turkish football federation says it has postponed the start of the season until Sept. 9 amid a match-fixing probe that landed 30 suspects in jail including the president of league champion Fenerbahce.

The federation says it decided Monday to postpone the league start, which was set for Aug. 5.

The probe involving 19 games has severely shaken Turkish football. Along with Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim, officials from Istanbul club Besiktas and Black Sea powerhouse Trabzonspor are also jailed pending trial.

Fenerbahce won 16 of 17 league matches in the latter part of the season to come from a distant third place and claim a record 18th title, beating Trabzonspor only on goal difference.
