ABSTRACT
The chapter reviews the existing literature concerning different forms of conduct and behaviours – namely doping, gamesmanship, and financial corruption – that equate to the different types of sport-related corruption. Attempts to provide definitional clarity are evaluated from sports management, legal, and criminological disciplinary perspectives. In an attempt to bring conceptual clarity to this issue, a novel circular typology or model of sport-related corruption is presented. Within this model there is a ‘core of certainty’, where the law will be a primary regulatory mechanism, and a wider ‘penumbra of uncertainty’, regulated primarily by sporting rules.
