Synopsis
Corruption in the sport industry is a pervasive issue that threatens the integrity of sport as an institution. From doping and match-fixing to money laundering, corruption should be a concern to anybody interested in sport policy, management, governance, or ethics. This is the first book to explore the complexity of sport corruption in terms of its conceptualisation, causes, consequences, and reform. The first part looks at the concept of sport corruption, while the second examines the causes of sport corruption from individual, organisational, industry-wide, and longitudinal viewpoints. The third part discussed is the consequences of sport corruption and its impact on the global sport industry. Various approaches to regulatory reform are considered in the next part, as well as the challenges of combatting corruption in the sport industry. The final part assesses the current state of literature in this area and suggests opportunities for future research. Drawing on multidisciplinary case studies from across the world, this is a seminal contribution to the academic study of corruption in sport. It is important reading for all students and scholars of sport management, business, criminology, and law.

"This book is very useful for those who want to gain a better understanding of sport corruption and for researchers who are interested in conducting research in the area of corruption in sport. The major contribution of this book is that it opens the door for future research in this area. Meanwhile, this book can be used for upper undergraduate and graduate courses (e.g., sport governance, sport communication, sport sociology, and ethics in sports)" - Eddie T. C. Lam, International Journal of Sport Communication
