CRIME AND CORRUPTION IN SPORT: A STRATEGY FOR CHANGE (PLENARY SESSION)

Crime and corruption have become commonplace in the world of sport: The mafia has moved into the doping market; soccer and cricket have been the scenes of matchfixing scandals; and charges of corruption have been levelled against organisations like FIFA and the International Volleyball Federation. Exposure is difficult as whistleblowers do so at great risk to personal safety.

Play the Game digs deep into current corruption scandals, teaches you the basics of fixing soccer games; and grabbles with the difficult question of how to stop corruption and crime in sports.

UNITED NATIONS YEAR OF SPORT 2005: DO NATIONS CARE? 

The UN has pronounced 2005 the International Year of Sport and Physical Education. All governments have unanimously agreed to develop sport programmes that can help combat extreme poverty, conflict and HIV/Aids, improve public health, and contribute to the realisation of the Millenium development goals. But has it been all talk and no action?
Play the Game asks the UN to assess the outcome of the International Year of Sport and invites  visionaries from exciting health and sport projects to share their success stories.
