Corruption in Sports: Study shows that £80 billion laundered through sports betting
Aditi Prakash
Billions laundered through sports betting
A study by the International Center for Sports Study based in Qatar has concluded after a 2 year study that over 80 percent of sports betting is carried out illegally beyond the reach of investigators and regulators. Football and cricket seem to be the worst affected with a number of football leagues being hit by match-fixing scandals in recent years and three Pakistani cricketers jailed for a plot to deliberately bowl no balls during a Test match against England at Lord’s in 2010. Tennis, basketball, badminton and motor racing are also being targeted.
The report said that all sports are under threat, but football and cricket are the most under threat. This comes days before a trial at Birmingham Crown Court following a Telegraph investigation into an alleged match-fixing scandal that could be English football’s biggest for decades.
