  • 14 the Welsh Premier League and the 'Significant Risk' to Match
    14 The Welsh Premier League and the ‘Significant Risk’ to Match-Manipulation. Is a Specific Offence Required? Matt Hall Introduction The issue of match-fixing is one of the biggest global threats the sports industry faces (Veuthey, 2014; Kihl, Skinner & Engelberg, 2017). The link between match-fixing, and wider criminal networks and corruption is well documented. This has drawn international attention from the likes of Interpol, Europol and the European Union. There exists no uniform definition of match-fixing (Katsarova, 2016). However, the concept of ‘manipulation’ provided by the Australian Sports and Recreation Ministers Council (2011) receives endorsement by the European Parliament (ibid), that being: “Match-fixing involves the manipulation of an outcome or contingency by competitors, teams, sports agents, support staff, referees and officials and venue staff. Such conduct includes: i. the deliberate fixing of the result of a contest, or of an occurrence within the contest; ii. deliberate underperformance; iii. withdrawal (tanking);1 iiii. an official’s deliberate misapplication of the rules of the contest; v. interference with the play or playing surfaces by venue staff; and vi. abuse of insider information to support a bet placed by any of the above or placed by a gambler who has recruited such people to manipulate an outcome or contingency” (p.2). Match-fixing can arise in two forms: betting-related match-fixing with the aim of achieving financial gain; or sports-related match-fixing which is motivated by the desire to qualify for a competition (Katsarova, 2016). This chapter focuses on the former and will use the terms match- fixing and match-manipulation interchangeably throughout.

  • Ritesh Misra Ethical Issues in the Gentleman's Game
    Experts Speak ETHICAL PRACTICES IN LEAGUE GAMING IN INDIA Concept Note The Indian sports environment has been abuzz with activity in recent years. According to reports, sports sponsorship has grown 12.3% to a whopping INR 5,185.4 crore (~US$800 million) in 2015 from a modest INR 4616.5 crore (~US$700 million) in 2014. Especially, the brand value of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been around US$ 4 billion. According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the 2015 IPL season contributed to around INR 1,150 crore (~US$170 million) to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). There is a substantial increase in the private investment in the sport, combined with the resultant appreciation of the importance of public trust in authenticity of results. Of late it has been seen that Industrial houses and even Film Stars of the glamour world have come up to participate into sports sponsorship in a big way. Above all, the issue of participant-integrity in league gaming has come to the forefront.

    Title information The Thin White Line The Inside Story of Cricket’s Greatest Scandal By Nick Greenslade Key features • Genuine insider account of a global story that rocked cricket, still reverberates in the sport, but has never been properly told before in this country or in Asia • Benefits from exclusive access to News of the World documents which have never previously been published • Author’s extensive contacts with international cricketers, commentators, reporters, officials and lawyers involved; these combine to provide a compelling narrative of a case that often reads more like fiction than fact • Publication timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the scandal • Publicity campaign planned including radio, newspapers, websites, podcasts and magazines Description The Thin White Line tells the explosive story of the spot-fixing scandal of 2010, which sent shockwaves through the sport. It stunned the wider sporting world and confirmed the reputation of the News of the World’s Mazher Mahmood as the most controversial news reporter of his generation. It was the start of a stunning chain of events that saw the News of the World shut down, Pakistan captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir banned and sent to prison, before Mahmood himself ended up behind bars. This gripping, forensic account takes the reader through the twists and turns of those fateful days late one August and beyond. For the first time, it shines a light on the tradecraft of the News of the World team and how they exposed the criminal scheming of the cricketers and their fixer Mazhar Majeed.

  • Match Fixing
    Match fixing In organised sports, match fixing, game fixing, race fixing, or sports fixing occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result, violating the rules of the game and often the law. Where the sporting competition in question is a race then the incident is referred to as race fixing. Games that are deliberately lost are sometimes called thrown games. When a team intentionally loses a game, or does not score as high as it can, to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage (for instance, earning a high draft pick) rather than gamblers being involved, the team is often said to have tanked the game instead of having thrown it. In pool hustling, tanking is known as dumping. In sports where a handicap system exists and is capable of being abused, tanking is known as sandbagging. Thrown games, when motivated by gambling, require contacts (and normally money transfers) between gamblers, players, team officials, and/or referees. These contacts and transfer can sometimes be found, and lead to prosecution, by law or by the sports league(s). In contrast, tanking is internal to the team and very hard to prove. Often, substitutions made by the coach designed to deliberately increase the team's chances of losing (frequently by having one or more key players sit out, often using minimal or phantom injuries as a public excuse for doing this), rather than ordering the players actually on the field to intentionally underperform, were cited as the main factor in cases where tanking has been alleged.
