The emergent study of corruption in sport has enhanced our understanding of why sport corruption occurs and of countermeasure tactics. Despite scholarship and concerted global and national efforts to limit corruption risks and activities, corruption in sport competitions and management practices is a persistent feature of the sporting industry. This chapter highlights some of the issues related to current types and forms of sport corruption (e.g., match manipulation, fraud, systematic corruption) that transcend national boundaries, sport disciplines, competition levels, and various actors. An assessment is given of the main theoretical approaches used to analyze how and why corruption occurs in national and international governing bodies and in community sport organizations, whether through internal actors or influenced by transnational organized crime groups. Last, an argument is presented to consider the development of a sport integrity system to counteract integrity risks more effectively.
