Protecting against competition manipulation 

You may have heard of match-fixing, tanking, or having insider information. These are some ways someone can gain influence over the outcome of a game or competition, usually for financial or personal gain. We call this competition manipulation.

Whatever your level of involvement is in active recreation and sport, there’s a chance you or someone you know could be impacted by dishonest or corrupt people.
