 December 8, 2008, 8:53 am (3 years ago)According to The Telegraph newspaper this week, Europe's main sporting bodies have taken the 1st steps to establish a worldwide organization to fight the sports betting fraud.
The piece brings up a conference in Brussels last week in which representatives from football, rugby and cricket owners related with the Sports Rights Owners Coalition expressed anxieties regarding match-fixing and gambling fraud in sport, and presented a report to the European Union intended to guard the future from corruption.
A plan created by the group advocates a worldwide anti-fraud agency which is going to be able to use state powers of examination, force strict licensing on bookmakers and, finally, have the authority to keep out nations that do not meet the terms from main competitions including World Cup.
