RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has introduced a bill in parliament against match-fixing in sport, a report said on Wednesday, after suspicions about rigging of results in its domestic football leagues. News agency RIA Novosti said the proposal from the sports-mad head of state, submitted in the Duma, would amend existing laws to prevent the possibility of events being illegally influenced. Match-fixers would run the risk of a maximum seven-year jail term and/or a one million-rouble (US$30,000) fine, while whistle-blowers would be given immunity from prosecution.
