Football's world governing body Fifa is to offer players and officials rewards and amnesties to persuade them to expose match-fixing. Fifa's head of security Chris Eaton said the incentives to whistle-blowers would be introduced next year. Alex Capstick reports.
世界足球官方组织Fifa鼓励球员和官员揭发比赛贿赂,并提供奖励和赦免。Fifa安全部主管克里斯·伊顿表示,明年将引入对揭发者的激励机制。Alex Capstick报道。
Chris Eaton has been working with Fifa for the past 12 months. He accused governing bodies in sport of having been naive in assessing the scale of match-fixing. He talked of teenagers at the start of their careers coming under the influence of criminal gangs. "They are then pressurised and intimidated into complying with their illegal demands," he described the problem, which has become more and more widespread. His solution is to offer incentives to whistle-blowers. For a one-month period, next January, Fifa will reward players, officials and administrators who come forward with useful information.
克里斯·伊顿已在Fifa工作十二个月可,在比赛贿赂规模的估计一事上,他批评官方机构在体育上的幼稚。他说,青少年一进入体育事业,就受到犯罪团伙的影响。“他们在威逼下被迫听从非法的要求,”他说,问题越来越普遍。他的解决办法是,向告密者提供奖励。明年整个一月份,Fifa将奖励那些提供有用情报的球员、官员和行政人员。
