Sport plays a collective social, political and cultural role around the world. In recent years, however, it has become associated with stories of corruption including gambling, consumption of illegal substances and institutional vote rigging. This book examines the level, depth and range of fraud and corruption in sport and the methods used to counteract and prevent fraud and corruption which damages the integrity of sport. Brooks, Aleem and Button argue that sport is often downplayed and defended as 'different' from other businesses. This book demonstrates that sport encounters the same types of fraud and corruption as business everywhere, and those specific to it such as match fixing, point shaving associated with vested gambling interests and tanking to secure better players in the future. "Fraud, Corruption and Sport" analyses a diverse range of cases internationally from across the sporting world including football, cricket, horse racing, basketball, baseball and boxing. This book presents a new perspective on the security of sport appealing to students, academics, practitioners and sporting enthusiasts alike.
