“…Lack of bias in sporting competition has always been viewed as essential to its sustainability. This is, whether residing in the expression of necessary ethical and moral dimensions of fair play in the developments of modern sport in England (Renson, 2009), aspirations of which carry through to current codes of ethics (Council of Europe, 2010), or for more commercial needs such as the initial need to facilitate gambling as sports developed (Renson, 2009) and subsequent arguments for the need to regulate competitive balance in sports leagues to sustain their long-term economic prospects (Downward, Dawson & Dejonghe, 2009).
