Manipulation of sports competitions devalues ​​the essence of sports, violating the principle of integrity and unpredictability of the results of competitions, causes distrust and contempt on the part of the public. Messages, both anonymous and non-anonymous, are a way of transmitting information that helps to identify cases of manipulation, investigate them in detail and impose penalties provided by law.

In addition, if you are an athlete, coach, judge, or athlete support personnel, you should be aware that concealing manipulation may result in criminal and disciplinary action. In such cases, reporting a case of sports manipulation helps protect the sport and makes you part of the solution, not the problem.

The manipulation of sports competitions can take many forms. They are intended to obtain any improper benefit by improperly influencing the outcome or course of sporting events.

Match-fixing is a prime example of sports manipulations. In particular, when an agreement is reached between two sports teams or athletes to achieve a certain result in a competition, for which one side receives a reward (monetary, material), and the other – a victory in sports competitions.

Another example is the falsification of documents of an athlete for participation in competitions of a different age category, which contradicts the integrity of the sport.
