  • Sport Corruption Risk Management Strategies”
    “Protecting Sports Integrity: Sport corruption risk management strategies” Thesis by Published Works submitted for the degree 180JA Doctor of Philosophy in Health (8703 Thesis) Catherine Ordway u3094835 University of Canberra Author Note: This PhD has been completed with the support of a Commonwealth HDR RTP Fees Offset and a University of Canberra HDR student allocatio n for RTS and conference funding i Protecting Sports Integrity: Sport corruption strategies CATHERINE ORDWAY Abstract Doping, match-fixing and corruption are challenges to the integrity of sport. Rather than imagining that there is a single “magic wand” solution, drawing on lessons from other industries and contexts, the culture of corruption rife in both Olympic and professional sports can instead be tackled through a range of tools. Inspired by the idea of “moral repair”, and the Ethics of Care approach, a number of risk reduction strategies, including: engaging in collaborative partnerships with law enforcement, strengthening legislative and regulatory frameworks, prioritising athlete welfare and supporting good governance, including promoting gender equality and ethical leadership, have been outlined.
