Sports Law #7 - Match Fixing

Wayne Shaw, the 45 years old, part time goalkeeper of Sutton United made international headlines recently when television cameras caught him biting into a pie during his club’s high profile FA Cup match with Arsenal. Shaw was forced to resign two days later. What did he do wrong? Sports lawyers Richard Wee and Peter-Douglas Ling explain how throwing away matches represent just the tip of the iceberg in the world of sports betting, and also why eight badminton players were disqualified from London 2012 for trying their best to win an Olympic medal.
