- Can sport prevent match fixing and retain its integrity?
'Fixed or broken: Can sport prevent match fixing and retain its integrity?' - Professor Simon Gardiner
Simon Gardiner hosted his inaugural lecture as Professor of International Sports Law, where he examined financial corruption in sport and argued for a more integrated approach to tackle the issues presented by match fixing.
In this lecture Professor Gardiner discusses recent incidents of match fixing in a range of sports before assessing whether the football World Cup could ever be fixed.
