Description
Integrity lies in the heart of sport, underpinning fair play, athlete welfare and public trust. Yet, it continues to face serious threats — from match-fixing and illegal betting, to doping, corruption and abuse of power within sporting organisations. This session explores how issues of integrity are shaping the future of sport in Malaysia and beyond. It will examine the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern integrity in sport including the Sports Development Act 1997, the Safe Sport Code and the anti-doping regime alongside international best practices. Through real-world cases and comparative insights, the discussion will highlight the challenges of safeguarding athletes, strengthening governance and promoting transparency.
