The Last Bet
Sorbonne – ICSS Research Programme Protecting the Integrity of Sport Competition. The Last Bet for Modern Sport.
Uncut Gem's final shot leaves off on Howard's corpse, lying on its back and staring up at the sky in a rapidly growing pool of blood.The camera engages in another one of its uncomfortably extensive zooms, this time penetrating through the bullet hole in Howard's cheek and through his head until finally coasting through the familiar geologic and colorful terrain of the opal. The banker and the lawyer decide to enter into a bet, with the banker wagering that the lawyer could not withstand 5 years of imprisonment. The lawyer, young and idealistic, decides to up the ante and makes the bet longer: 15 years. If he could last to the end of his sentence, the lawyer would receive two million rubles for wining the bet.
An executive summary of the Sorbonne-ICSS Integrity Report
Sport Integrity Research Programme, 2012-14
The detailed report on the prevalence of match-fixing and illegal betting in international sport by the ICSS and Sorbonne consists of three parts. Firstly it describes the context and forms of the manipulation of sport competitions. Secondly, stakeholder logic and the manipulation of sport competitions are addressed and lastly instruments for combating the manipulation of sport competitions are identified. The key message contained in the report is that the protection of sport is a societal issue linked to attitude and behaviour, and not confined to elite sport. The report confirms the enormous scale of corruption and reinforces the importance of good governance in sports organisations.
Please read carefully the following key recommendations prior to submitting a report!
Employees, athletes, betting monitoring companies and even fans, are usually the first to know when something is going seriously wrong in a sporting competition and within the sports business environment. A culture of turning a “blind eye” to such problems means that the alarm is not sounded and those in charge do not get the chance to act before real damage is done.
