    82 Graham Brooks : Match-Fixing in Korean Football: Corruption in the K-League and the Importance of Maintaining Sporting Integrity http://dx.doi.org/10.5392/IJoC.2012.8.2.082 Match-Fixing in Korean Football: Corruption in the K-League and the Importance of Maintaining Sporting Integrity Graham Brooks Institute of Criminal Justice Studies University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom Julak Lee Department of Protection & Security Management Kyonggi University, Suwon, Korea Hakkyong Kim Department of Police Administration Keimyung University, Daegu, Korea ABSTRACT Fraud and corruption is a problem that undermines the credibility and integrity of all sport. It affects fans, owners, shareholders, officials, and players. With the recent scandal in the K-League in Korea, the importance of maintaining the integrity of Korean football is presently of great importance. While other European or Asian football leagues have been plagued with fraud and corruption, Korea has maintained its professional sporting integrity successfully until recent times. This paper is an examination as to why players in the K-League succumbed to match- fixing in 2011. Firstly, we discuss the important role of sport in Korea, which is not to be underestimated. Secondly, we briefly illustrate the range and types of fraud and corruption in international football. Thirdly, we focus on the match-fixing and gambling scandal currently engulfing the K-League. Fourthly, we make some practical suggestions on how to combat and increase resilience to fraud and corruption in football. Finally, in the conclusion, we suggest that much needs to be done to reduce the incident of fraud and corruption in football worldwide, particularly through employing a clear counter fraud strategy.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2011/A/2436 Associaçāo Académica de Coimbra – OAF v. Suwon Samsung Bluewings FC, award of 25 May 2012 Panel: Mr Dirk-Reiner Martens (Germany), President; Mr Efraim Barak (Israel); Mr Michael Beloff QC (United Kingdom) Football Transfer Decision of the federation Interpretation of the words “final and binding” Starting time of the 21-days time limit for appeal Waiver of the right to appeal 1. On a formal level, if the findings of the decision carry the heading “Decision”, were passed by an organ of the federation and were signed by the federation’s Deputy Secretary General, they clearly bear all the requirements of a “decision” within the meaning of Article R47 of the Code. The fact that the decision is not motivated (i.e. reasoned) cannot, as such, affect its status as a “decision”. 2. The interpretation of the statutes and rules of a sport association has to be objective and always has to start with the wording of the rule which falls to be interpreted. The qualification of a decision as “final and binding” cannot be understood as an exception to Article 63 (1) of the FIFA Statutes so as to render an appeal inadmissible. Article 63(1) of the FIFA statutes itself stipulates that only “final decisions” issued by a FIFA body can be subject to an appeal, so as to establish the finality of a decision as a prerequisite for an appeal according to Article 63(1) of the FIFA statutes rather than an exclusion of its admissibility.
