ILLEGAL BETS
The illegal Bets is a problem for the sports, the reason is because can influenziate in the development of a match or in the level of an athlete, i can add that it helps to other type of crimes like embezzling money or money laundering. Thes bets are common is sports like football, American football, baseball and in some case tennis.
MONEY AND CORRUPTION
As they can imagine the principal objective of the corruption is the money, as we can know the big institutions help governments or teams for money, there are two reasons, one the own benefit and the other the benefits for a company or istitutions, obviously there can be other cases like money laundering. But the principal poiint is that the mney is the principal objective of this class of institutions, the sports passs to a second level. Obviously there are cases when the corruption level is low or can be cases that theres not corruption, we can´say that is a general rule the corruption, but these cases are to specifics and some difficult to find.
To conlude i want to say that the sports is one of the best forms to have a good health and life and the competences help this, but is terrible that the institutions and governments start to change this idea and decide to get a part of the money in an unjust way. But is oportunity to change in a future no with best athletes, but with good institutions.
Corruption is a problem that affects all the world. Normally the causes of corruption are related to governments, Institutions, Asociations, Organizations or federations related to sports. In the last years there are a lot of problems with this class of isntitutions, other characteristics of the corruption in sports are the "buy of matches" or the bribery of referees (to help a team or athlete) and illegal bets.
The institution´s problems
The big institutions of sports are in charge of control competitions and events of their sport, but in some cases, they make the act of corruption, there are a lot of examples but the current and most famous is the FIFA gate. In 2015 the FBI and the Switzerland police enter in the center of the FIFA in Zurich, Switzerland, embezzling money and associate with countries to give them the host country of the world cup. Others as the UCI corruption or the FIA problems, are also impressive and shocking, but only the FIFA gate case has gone out to light a lot of information.
In other cases the corruption come from a specific country, we mean that the government of that country helps the sports institutions or organizations to ride referees, buy matches and more related to the topic. A clear example was the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil, the government help the Brazilian Confederation of football to manipulate some matches of the football team of Brazil before and during the cup. Another example is the interference of the Russian Government with their Olympic athletes, more than corruption they finish in a doping scandal. There can be more of these cases in secret, but is too difficult to know it.
BRIBERY
There are cases when some teams or athletes bride referees to help them in a match, an example is the world cup of football or the baseball matches in U.S.A, the difficult decisions need a certain decision and a just result, but there are cases that the referee help the team that bribe him. In the UCI`s competences in the close circuit of cycling the referees help a team or cyclist if they need it, with the majority of the cases they help them when they broke the rules. Other cases are normally in matches of Football, Baseball or American football.
