Los Angeles Times sports columnist Arash Markazi resigned following a month-long internal investigation into accusations of plagiarism and ethical impropriety. “Arash Markazi, a Los Angeles Times sports columnist, has resigned following an investigation by The Times into allegations that had been made against him,” a Times spokesperson told TheWrap on Friday. “We have updated certain stories to include the appropriate attribution or clarification, as needed. Two stories included materials that had been published elsewhere without proper attribution; that attribution has now been added to those stories,” Pearlstine wrote. Markazi joined the Los Angeles Times in 2019 after nine years at ESPN.
