Sports body promises to kick out corruption, match-fixing
Print Edition
China鈥檚 sports authority has vowed to stamp out corruption and match-fixing.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection yesterday published feedback from the State General Administration of Sports following a discipline inspection in 2014. In the feedback, the GAS detailed measures it will take to correct problems identified during the inspection.
鈥淎thlete recruitment and referee appointments will be conducted under open and transparent supervision鈥, in order to prevent corruption and match-fixing, its statement said.
Chinese sports officials have more influence than their counterparts overseas through the top-down management structure, which allowed them to screen and train medalists for competitions. A number of malpractice cases and violations were discovered during the CCDI inspection.
Measures will be taken to punish illegal practices with severity and transparency, the GASC said.
Gold medals won in events such as the Olympic Games and National Games can boost officials鈥 political credentials and bring economic benefits, which has motivated some to pursue good results at the expense of sportsmanship and fair-play, the GASC statement said.
鈥淭he participating teams will no longer be ranked by the medals they win at the National Games ,鈥 in a bid to avoid the blind pursuit of medals.
鈥淭he performance of the sports administration will be assessed on multiple criteria, including public participation in sports and cost efficiency of public sports investments.鈥
The GASC also said it would relinquish its power in approving commercial sporting events and events organized by the public, in response to criticism over a lack of transparency over approval. But hosting rights over the National Games, games bearing national interests, and special games, will still need GASC approval.
