BELIEVE IN SPORT
This is not only about you.
Competition manipulation can ruin sport as a whole.
What is competition manipulation?
When athletes cheat by losing on purpose or by not doing their best in a
competition
When officials or coaches deliberately make wrong decisions, affecting
the competition or its outcome
This is competition manipulation!
Why does competition manipulation happen?
To gain a sporting advantage
When the athlete underperforms,
e.g. in order to face easier
opponents in the next round of the
competition. This is only one
example; many others exist.
To make money
When the competition is
manipulated in order to win a bet.
Identified weaknesses leading to competition
manipulation
Insufficient revenue
for the athlete or official
(e.g. no contract / insecure pay)
End-of-career decision
Marginal stakes
(e.g. people feeling that they
of the event
have nothing to lose)
(e.g. last rounds of the season)
Young age
Gambling addiction
Lack of awareness and
experience
