INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin - 20 February 2017 - 5 March 2017
In this edition, we find several investigations of match-fixing, related to rugby, football, and cricket. The case in Italy once again proves that not just big international matches are affected by match-fixing, but also friendly matches, which are less publicized and well-known to avoid detection.
In other news, New Zealand is starting an educational programme in high schools to teach students about the dangers and risks of taking supplements containing banned substances. Education and raising awareness are the first steps in combating doping and corruptions within sports.
The Integrity in Sports Programme is still involved in many events around the world in the upcoming month to raise awareness on the severity of match-fixing, among other crimes in sports.
