When talking about corruption in the world of sports, I immediately remember the dark history of Italian football, namely the Calciopoli tragedy.
The Calciopoli tragedy or what is also known as Moggiopoli, because indeed the general director of Juventus, Luciano Moggi, was involved in match
fixing. And finally it hurt several teams such as Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina. But the one who got the heaviest punishment
was Juventus.
Learning from this incident must be given the toughest law in case of corruption in the world of sports against all those involved. So that the incident
does not happen again, because there must be a lot of people who are harmed. Not only sportsmen and supporters of the team, but some gamblers
who used to bet for Serie A teams were at a disadvantage.

Politician will promise Earth , Moon and Sun just to get our Vote so why believe those stupid words?

there are two things also that never disappear in the world, the believers, and liars, once you believe on what a person says, even if you knew there is something wrong, thats when corruption starts because they knew that their words are the words that you will only believe in, not only corruption are in sports also politics and what they call backer, if you are nobody even if you are good , chance are you will be replace with their friends even relatives, its the reality.
There is also one additional factor in sports corruption (and I don't know if anyone has mentioned it), and that's doping, which itself is a form of corruption, especially when you factor in state-sponsored doping as we had with the whole Russian athletes controversy in the Olympics. There is a great documentary about it called Icarus that might interest some of you. The problem with doping is that it's not just greed that's the factor, but also a personal achievement that is fueling the decision to take performance-enhancing drugs or not. Another factor is that, unlike money-specific corruption, doping corruption can not be controlled by the state that easily.
I think this is quite normal and most of the higher officials are the ones taking the outcome of the game but if this can goes into their international play I think most of the viewers will directly notice the game and the player throwing and this is not good and healthy to the world of sports because for sure this reduces the reputation of their names and the whole organization of the team.
It's hard to notice if there are players that are still throwing games for the sports that they're good at. It's a career for them and they have principles to protect and boast rather than being bought by money. But we know that it's also possible that they can be bought and sell out a game and let the other players win. But as for the officials, there really are some dirty works that happens inside the organization, corruption about funds and budgets that should be for the athletes yet the officials are putting it onto their pockets.In team games the pressure is just too high to perform. I would imagine that if you start throwing games it becomes noticeable to your teammates and they will pressure you, or you become replaced. This is probably why corruption on football focuses more on the referee than on players. His power is much higher than that of one player, but it becomes more difficult due to video assistance these days.
Money can always change anything, so it's no wonder that a sportsman or person who has a position cannot control his greed, so that anyone will definitely get involved with hot money because it is something that is very likely to happen to anyone. The election campaign promise is like just something to find appeal to the wider community, even though we don't know what will happen next. Therefore, I personally don't always heed that promise because in the present and next life with whoever the leader is, we need to work to earn money and always be careful to carry out any activities to avoid fraud or something like that.
In my country every government during the election campaign have the statement we'll abolish corruption on the sports in the manifesto. Is this is common or I'm seeing this on my country. In each and every game, during the selection process bribe is being given. This has made several able sportsmen discontinue their passion on sports and do some routine job for their living.
Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing. Why certain sportsmen have such greed towards money when people are starving to have a single meal on a day.

It is hard to trust what the government is saying because sometimes it can surely end up in promises fixing or abolishing the corruption on sports or inside the governments is pretty big of a job if the only one that wants that will be the president or the vice president and his/her subordinate would surely don't want to allow such things, It will be a big of a task, or if that will be just their platform to win the election but it will be just a promise that often forgets,
in sports, game-fixing is simply normal if you would think that way, but even if there are often sports match or games that are fixed or rigged there are always trustworthy ones that simply want a good match-up, but we can not just always accuse all of them that they are rigged or fixed.

Can I ask what country do you coming from? I think game-fixing is not that mainstream on media of course but I'm sure there are underground deals on fixing a game. For the sake of money, Teams and individuals are agreeing with the fixed game, or sometimes they are threatened. I'm pretty sure that there are authorities backing up with these schemes but they are shut with the money and ended up athlete's passion being destroyed.Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing.

I had an experience losing a bunch of money on a single bet because it is fixed. It is later discovered that the game is fixed but the money I lose on that game doesn't come back to me.

That is because of human nature which is greedy by default.A lot of regulators like laws,constitutions and even religion up to a certain point try to make man a better person in general.Of course these entities also threaten people who do not abide by the laws and this is what keeps human race go.They say humans are the greatest merciless animals if not controlled with the above means.
As per your case in sports those sportsman who do that have no moral values and don’t care for the laws as long as they achieve their financial goals.
We cannot deny that some sportsman does their job well when competing in the court or in the ring. no matter what will the outcome is. Just like what happened to the other athletes when they didn't want to lose the game even though they got some threat with something evil. There are lots of cases such as this happening in the sports industry. The others have no option as if they are only getting there to throw the game. Because some of them got some deadly threat which made them lose their concentration and skills. You can read it here to know more about it.

Sometimes they cant notice that kind of throw games just to extend the possible income to both teams. Like the best of five-game, the other team 1 win away to get the championship of course some of them want to extend the game more to they can earn more viewers and profit.

Obviously, they wanted to get a shortcut and earn more money while deliberately not giving their best in this match fixing. But it's more on deep than that, there are more involved like officials and even the organizers themselves. So it's deeply rooted to corruption.There's also this speculation that some powerful entity are behind this match fixing, so probably athletes don't have a choice, otherwise this mafia will not just get back on them, but with their family itself.
been old enough to understand politics in my country Philippines which is one of the worse countries run by corrupt officials but there seem to have no TV reports about sports corruption. i missed it probably.
the one thing that is often reported is the athletes not being supported by the government and then eventually other countries supported these athletes. we could have a new chess grandmaster Wesly So but he moved to US for the lack of support in the Philippines but US supported him.
I can vouch for this, the problem is not the politicians anymore, we have a lot of corrupt officials but we still haven't learn a thing or two, the real problem is the people in our country doesn't have the integrity and critical thinking to elect the best official in the position. This is one of my frustrations about the Philippines, they do not take care of their athletes and politicians that came from sports doesn't even have the inkling to support the athletes when they should be the prime supporters because they knew the struggle of not being supported. The problem with people that is involved in match fixing is that they do not have the integrity and they tend to twist the reality that sports should be anyone's game, the only way that a match fixing can be solved is when players have the integrity not to participate in that scheme but given that match fixing is a serious business which means that players do not have any choice but to participate because they know that it is a serious business and they can be threatened.the one thing that is often reported is the athletes not being supported by the government and then eventually other countries supported these athletes. we could have a new chess grandmaster Wesly So but he moved to US for the lack of support in the Philippines but US supported him.

Corruption is a big obstacle for sports many good countries cannot play because of corruption. Usually money game is played here with money they don't buy the game but also win through the chance of corruption sport is no longer just a game or a means of entertainment but a labor intensive industry business as the success of sports increases the pride of the country, so does the money earned and if there is money there is also some misfortune. Sports corruption is taking root there should have been a section in the sports council act to curb corruption the opportunity to form a sports tribunal could have been kept there needs to be specific guidelines in the sports law regarding them.
I've heard of a rigged sports event, but I am not well aware that corruption is even this rampant in the sports industry. I guess as long as people have the authority they abuse it, and corruption is always eminent as long as you have authority and opportunity. I guess game-fixing is unavoidable in some cases especially if committees and organizers are involved. With the doing their responsibility diligently none of this will occur.
Why certain sportsmen have such greed towards money when people are starving to have a single meal on a day.
simply because they think that money can give them happiness and i think they havent heard and they didnt believe in the saying that money cant buy and give a person happiness , also they only think about themselves and they didnt think of others .corruption is normal and also happen to us and to other country not just in your country . on our country it wasnt the sports but it was the general projects that canditates are promised to combat the corruption that are happening and will happen within thier term .

That is interesting, I have never seen anything close to that in my country, it seems that maybe fixing matches is something common where you live and it needs to be eradicated, this concerns not only casinos that have huge losses because of it, this also concerns the sport itself, after all we watch sports in order to see individuals or teams going at each other with the best that they have, if this is no longer the case and the matches are fixed then there is no reason to watch sports anymore.Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing.

Perhaps, that will not appear in the public, and it is hidden from that, and only a few people know about the fixing matches. But I guess that some sportsmen do that in the dark place without anyone knows.
Yes, that needs to eradicated from his country and also the other country, but that needs all aspects in that country and hard work from all officers, not just the government, the sportsmen, but it is also for the sports organization. So that will not easy and needs a long time before people can see the sports will clean from the corruption.
