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.
This book offers historical and contemporary international analysis

racing and boxing.
