The opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors and do not represent the views of INTERPOL or its employees. INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 5-18 March 2019 SENTENCES/SANCTIONS Chile Mauricio Alvarez-Guzman banned for life for tennis match-fixing and associated corruption offences Chilean tennis player Mauricio Alvarez-Guzman has been handed a lifetime ban from professional tennis after being found guilty of match-fixing and associated corruption offences, which breach the sport’s Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP). The 31-year old was found to have attempted to contrive the outcome of an August 2016 ATP Challenger match in Meerbusch, Germany by offering a player €1,000 to lose a set. In addition he was found guilty of contriving the singles draw of the ITF F27 Futures tournament played in July 2016 in Antalya, Turkey by purchasing a wild card for entry into the singles competition. An intention to purchase a wild card for the doubles competition of the same tournament did not come to fruition, but still stands as a corruption offence. The disciplinary case against Mr Alvarez-Guzman was considered by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Charles Hollander QC at a Hearing held in London on 11 March 2019. Having found him guilty of all charges, the lifetime ban imposed by Mr Hollander means that with effect from 14 March 2019 the player is permanently excluded from competing in or attending any tournament or event organised or sanctioned by the governing bodies of the sport.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

  • Experts Statement on U.S. Priorities for Reducing the Risk of Nuclear Terrorism
    Experts Statement on U.S. Priorities for Reducing the Risk of Nuclear Terrorism The undersigned experts, with decades of experience reducing nuclear risk, urge the Biden administration to quickly restore U.S. leadership in strengthening global nuclear security. President Biden knows this issue well. In 2004, as we were still recovering from the September 11th attacks, then-Senator Joe Biden said, “If we are to avoid nuclear terrorism in the future, there is no more critical effort today than securing the world’s fissile materials.” Threats have changed since those harrowing days, but the importance of this effort has not. An act of nuclear terrorism anywhere would be a global humanitarian, economic, and political catastrophe and could cripple nuclear technology’s contributions to energy, medical, industrial, and other purposes. The international community can reduce the danger by effectively protecting the hundreds of nuclear facilities and transport operations around the world. This is a rare national issue where there is bipartisan consensus. For 25 years, every president made reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism a top priority. With the end of the nuclear security summits and limited high-level attention during the Trump administration, however, U.S. leadership on this issue has weakened and international progress has slowed. Some nuclear security systems remain inadequate, and such systems must keep up with dynamic threats, such as drones or cyber- attacks. Nuclear material and facilities remain vulnerable around the world. The following critical steps can reinvigorate U.S. security efforts: President Biden should launch a comprehensive, whole-of-government plan to achieve effective and sustainable nuclear security for the world’s stocks of nuclear weapons, highly enriched uranium, separated plutonium, and nuclear facilities whose sabotage could cause a major catastrophe.
