BWF takes on fixers
Print Edition
BADMINTON bosses have brought in lifetime bans for match-fixers and illegal gamblers as part of a new charter announced yesterday which gives the body greater scope to root out corruption.
The Badminton World Federation also made it an offense not to report knowledge of illegal betting or failure to cooperate with BWF investigations as it bids to avoid the plight of tennis, which has been rocked by match-fixing allegations.
“BWF is committed to clean sport and this code is for everyone in badminton,” BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said in a statement.
“It covers almost all people associated with our sport.”
Badminton was hit by a match-fixing scandal at the 2012 London Olympic Games when eight players, from China, South Korea and Indonesia, were kicked out of the women’s doubles tournament for deliberately trying to lose matches.
