  • 1 Match-Fixing in London Olympic Year Scandals
    MATCH-FIXING IN LONDON OLYMPIC YEAR SCANDALS, LESSONS & POLICY DEVELOPMENTS Kevin Carpenter Solicitor, Hill Dickinson LLP, Consultant and Editorial Board Member, LawInSport 2012 was predicted to be the year when match-fixing, particularly that related to sports betting, became the principal issue of sporting integrity worldwide with London hosting the Olympic Games. As it transpired there was only one such scandal at the 2012 Games and it was not related to betting. Yet the Olympics did provide the actors in the fight against match-fixing with many invaluable lessons. Developments in the field of match-fixing during 2012 came instead from outside of the Olympics with the progression and revelation of numerous instances of match-fixing and the advancement of new public and private policies to detect, deter and educate. This paper will examine issues ranging from the increasing use of polygraph (lie-detector) tests and the role of national and international bodies, to the sports that have been knee-deep in the match-fixing mire during 2012 and whether the current approach to sanctioning is proportionate. Sports affected during 2012 Football As ever, being the most popular sport worldwide, football accounted for a large proportion of match-fixing activity in 2012. Changes at the top of football’s world governing body FIFA, with Ralph Mutschke taking over from Chris Eaton as Director of Security, allowed Eaton to reveal some uncomfortable allegations upon taking over as Director of Sport Integrity at the newly formed International Centre for Sport Security (‘ICSS’) based in Doha (to which I will return later). The principal of which was a claim that the 2010 World Cup match between Nigeria v Greece was under investigation for match-fixing.1 Nigeria having previous being part of an alleged fixed friendly match with Argentina back in June 2011.

  • Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law
    Serby, T 2017 Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law. Entertainment and Sports Law Journal, 15: 2, pp. 1–9, DOI: https://doi.org/10.16997/eslj.204 ARTICLE Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law Tom Serby Anglia Ruskin University, GB [email protected] An apparent escalation in on-field corruption (doping and match-fixing) in professional sports has led to increasing numbers of athletes facing bans and a loss of livelihood as a consequence of decisions taken by sporting tribunals, as part of a regulatory system referred to as lex sportiva. This has led to challenges in domestic courts from athletes over the lawfulness and fairness of these proceedings (for example Pechstein and Kaneria). These challenges to the legitimacy of lex sportiva (and to the principle of the autonomy of sport) echo Foster’s (2003) critique of lex sportiva/global sports law as: a cloak for continued self-regulation by international sports federations…a claim for non-intervention by both national legal systems and by international sports law… [which] opposes a rule of law in regulating international sport. The paper considers what is the ‘rule of law’ that regulates on-field corruption, and concludes that it is a complex web of law, since sports governing bodies now share with the state many aspects of the sanctioning of on-field corruption. The paper considers how the doctrine of ‘the autonomy of sport’ has informed the development of lex sportiva in regard to athlete corruption, and the competing claims of private sports law and national legal systems over the regulation of athlete corruption.

  • Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket
    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below. Date Opponents Venue In Out Minutes Score Jun 1992 Pakistan Lord’s 40-1 73-2 58 12 Jan 1993 India Calcutta 87-5 163 AO 183 28 Mar 1994 West Indies Georgetown 253-5 281-7 86 8 Mar 1994 West Indies Trinidad 26-5 27-6 6 0 Jul 1994 South Africa Lord’s 136-6 59 6* Aug 1996 Pakistan Oval 273-6 283-7 27 5 Jul 1998 South Africa Nottingham 199-4 244-5 102 23 Aug 1998 South Africa Leeds 200-4 206-5 21 4 Nov 2000 Pakistan Lahore 391-6 468-8 148 31 Nov 2000 Pakistan Faisalabad 105-2 203-4 209 33 Ian Salisbury’s NWM Appearances in Test matches Salisbury had only one failure as a Test match nightwatchman; joining his fellow rabbits in Curtly Ambrose’s headlights in the rout for 46 in Trinidad.

  • Australia Firmly in Control in First New Zealand Test
    SPORTS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2016 Replay drama works in Australia’s favor WELLINGTON: Australia’s players feared another backlash from New Zealand fans after a contentious no ball decision went in their favor in the final over of the first day’s play of the first test yesterday. Adam Voges was batting on seven when he was bowled by Doug Bracewell with two deliveries remaining in the day’s play, only for umpire Richard Illingworth to signal a no ball. Television replays, however, showed the delivery was legal but because the no ball had been called New Zealand were unable to ask for a review. Australia finished the day on 147 for three, 36 runs behind New Zealand’s first innings tally of 183. The replay had the potential to create a backlash against the Australians similar to that they experienced after the final one- day international at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Monday. In that match, Mitchell Marsh was given not out caught and bowled on 41 with his side in charge of their run chase, only for the crowd to erupt into a chorus of boos when they saw a replay on the big screen that showed he had been dismissed. Marsh was then given out, creating an angry response from the all- rounder and batting partner Matthew Wade, while captain Steve Smith was booed at the end of the game when he questioned the decision. Australian media criticized the Hamilton crowd, calling them ‘feral’, while suggesting the controversy from the underarm bowling incident from a 1981 one-day match between the two sides had now been put to bed.

  • December 2018 Cresset
    December 2018 Bottisham & District Branch of The Royal British Legion REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY This year saw the centenary of the signing of the Armistice which ended World War 1 and was commemorated by some special services across the country and indeed the world. We in Bottisham and the surrounding villages held our own special day with a parade and service at Swaffham Bulbeck Parish Church. It was held there for a number of reasons, but the main one was to showcase the wonderful display of thousands of crocheted poppies, made by local volunteers. Cascading down from the top of the tower and floodlit at night, it made a wonderful statement. The Bottisham Branch would like to thank everyone who attended, particularly all those who took part in the parade. The Cadets of the Burwell detachment of the Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force, The Scouts, The Guides, The Cubs and Brownies. Great to see so many young people there. Also thanks to the Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, representing the Queen, Mrs. Penny Walkinshaw. The Branch would like to apologise for the lack of House to House collections this year for the poppy appeal. This was due to being let down by Haig House in the supply of the required ID cards to allow the collectors to call. Normal service should be resumed next year. If you would like to Join The Royal British Legion then visit their website, or come along to one of our meetings which are held every other month J.M.M.J.S.N., third Wednesday 8.00pm at the Bottisham Community Sports & Social Club.
