Chappell, who captained an Australia team described as one of the best in history, said he had altered his cricket commentary in the past to hint at any "dodgy" practice during games.
"I don't want people to look back at me and say, 'Well, he was hot on fixing but he didn't do anything about it'," Chappell told 'The Guardian'.
"I've done what I think I have to do with the information that I've been given. If ever I go to court to talk about this and the judge says 'Well, you didn't say anything about it at the time,' I can say to the judge, 'You go back and listen to my commentary there, and if you listen very closely there's an indication there that I wasn't happy with what was going on'," he said.
"Take your pick. That was either very, very bad captaincy or it was dodgy captaincy," he said.
Chappell said it would be naive to think that any team in the world has remained immune to the menace.
