A Practical Guide to the Prosecution of Cases of Competition Manipulation
Больше МеньшеAs the scale, sources and sophistication of competition manipulation become increasingly apparent, there is a growing recognition that more needs to be done to tackle this activity, which is a direct threat to the ethos at the heart of sport. Increasing the capacity and capability of prosecutors involved in cases of competition manipulation is an integral part of the process. This guide is aimed at helping to achieve this goal. The guide examines the challenges relating to prosecuting cases of competition manipulation and sets out a recommended framework for doing so (using the manipulated performance, reward and communication (MPRC) approach), including a description of its components and details on how it should be used. The guide is primarily directed to the prosecution before criminal courts of those involved in competition and match manipulation. However, the principles and methods outlined in the guide are considered to be both useful and relevant to all those who are engaged in the detection and fight against corruption of sport in general and the manipulation of sports competitions in particular. It is also hoped that the Guide will provide a useful resource for international and national federations as well as sports’ governing bodies bringing their own private law disciplinary proceedings.

Sport and Gender Equality Game Plan
Guidelines for Gender-transformative Sport Policies and Programmes
Больше МеньшеThe Sport and Gender Equality Game Plan aims to support sport decision-makers in designing and delivering evidence-based policies and programmes that advance sustainable social transformations. The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are the first in history to achieve gender parity of athletes on the playing field. Over the past few decades, the number of girls participating in sport has risen in many countries, leading to improved physical and mental health and increased opportunities for millions of women and girls. Advances in sport and gender equality can transform lives and uplift communities. Girls who play sport have higher grades, are more likely to graduate high school and are less likely to experience an unintended pregnancy. Participation in sport also develops soft skills, which can be applied in the labour market. 80% of female Fortune 500 executives played competitive sport at some point in their lives. More broadly, sport helps create just, peaceful and gender-equitable societies, making sport a low-cost, high impact investment: every $1 invested in sport generates up to $124 in value.
