Cricket [ edit ]

Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth received a lifetime ban in 2013 for his alleged part in a match-fixing scheme. In 1979, Somerset deliberately declared their innings in their Benson & Hedges Cup one-day match against Worcestershire closed after only one over was completed. This plan was not motivated by gambling, but was instead meant to manipulate tie-breaking rules for Somerset's benefit and assure qualification for the quarterfinals of the tournament. Although the plan was not against the letter of the rules, it was widely condemned by both media and cricket officials, and Somerset was expelled from that year's tournament in response.

Darts [ edit ]

In June 2018, Filipino darts player Gilbert Ulang was found by the Darts Regulation Authority to have deliberately lost to Kevin Simm in the preliminary round of the 2017 PDC World Darts Championship. Ulang was given a seven-year suspension from the sport. [118] [119] In 2020, Northern Irish darts player Kyle McKinstry was suspended by the Darts Regulation Authority for alleged match fixing in matches against Wessel Nijman and David Evans in the Modus A Night at the Darts event. Wessel Nijman was suspended for fixing a game against Evans in the same event. Nijman admitted to the offence; and McKinstry admitted to the offence against Evans but denied the offence against Nijman.[120][121] McKinstry was found by the DRA to have fixed both matches. Nijman was suspended for five years, the latter two-and-a-half suspended;[123] with McKinstry's punishment set to be decided at a later date by the DRA.

Esports [ edit ]

In 2010, several professional StarCraft players were suspected of being involved in illegal match fixing, with two people arrested and about seven gamers investigated, with two renowned gamers, Ma Jae-Yoon and By. CrocuS were confirmed as working as a broker between the bettors and the gamers. [124] In June 2013, a Dota 2 pro player Alexey "Solo" Berezin was caught match fixing during a match against ZRage in SLTV Star Ladder Season VI as RoX.Kis. The match had no bearing on their standings since both teams could no longer qualify for the LAN finals. Solo bet $100 against his team and proceed to intentionally throw the game and supposedly won $322 from it. As a result of being caught Solo received a lifetime ban from Starladder (later reduced to one year [125] and was later removed from the team [126] ), a three-year ban for the other players, and one-year ban for the organization.

Arrow Gaming repeatedly tried to deny this but conclusive evidence eventually proves this fact and as a result, the teams have been removed from Synergy SEA and disqualified from other tournaments such as Summit 2. Both ddz and Lance were removed from the Arrow Gaming and the rest of the team disbanded one day later.

players and a team owner were banned due to the IBuyPower and NetcodeGuides match fixing scandal. In June 2021, six Valorant players for the team Resurgence were suspended for match fixing a match against Blackbird Ignis in September 2020.[133]

Field hockey [ edit ]

In 1996, the International Hockey Federation released a report concluding there was no evidence to prove a match between India and Malaysia in an Olympic qualifying match in January. Canadian Hockey Association president Judy McCrae was publicly skeptical of the report and affirmed her belief that the game was fixed. [134] In 2006, the Malaysia national field hockey team filed a complaint through the Olympic Council of Malaysia that Japan and Pakistan intentionally tied 0–0 during their match at the 2006 Asian Games.[135]

Golf [ edit ]

In December 1959, Sam Snead threw a match playoff to Mason Rudolph on the NBC show World Championship Golf. Snead had discovered that he was carrying 15 clubs in his bag, which by the Rules of Golf in that era was an automatic disqualification for carrying more than 14 clubs. Instead of disclosing the violation, Snead continued to play, but purposefully missed putts to give Rudolph the victory. Snead said his decision to continue was because he knew the NBC show would be an hour short of the planned run time and he wanted to give the producers a usable broadcast that showed Rudolph the winner (which was, by rule, the actual result via disqualification), although viewers would not be informed of the violation that legitimately disqualified Snead, creating the illusion that Rudolph won a fair match when in actuality, Rudolph had won via disqualification.[136] Current Rules of Golf call for a general penalty, which is a loss of hole as an adjusted match score in match play, or two-stroke penalty in stroke play, for each hole where the excessive club was played, for excessive clubs in the bag. There is a limit of two such violations that can be charged to a golfer. At the 2001 Open Championship, Ian Woosnam was given the two-stroke penalty for the excessive club found before he teed off the second hole.[137] At the 2013 PGA Championship, Woody Austin was assessed the maximum four-stroke penalty for having 15 clubs at the third hole.[138] With the current general penalty rule enforced at the 12th hole where the violation was discovered, Rudolph would be 2 up after the maximum penalty of a two-hole adjustment was assessed, with the match being allowed to continue. Snead would have had to make up a two-hole deficit with six holes remaining.

In 2012, several French handball players from the Montpellier club were arrested on allegations they fixed matches.[139] In June 2015, the French government pressed charges against the alleged Montpellier fixers who included Olympic medalist Nikola Karabatic, his brother Luka Karabatic and six others Montpellier players. Prosecutors alleged Montpellier, who had already sealed the French handball championship, purposefully lost to Cesson in May 2012. French authorities were tipped off to the alleged fix when discovering that over 100,000 euros in bets had been placed on the low-stakes game that prosecutors contend should have only garnered a few thousand euros in wagers. In July 2015, the 16 people indicted by French authorities for their part in the match fixing scandal—including the Karabatic brothers—were found guilty. Nikola Karabatic was fined 10,000 euros and the largest fine on 30,000 euros went to Mladen Bojinovic. None of the people were given jail sentences, despite the prosecutors request.[140] The Karabatic brothers appealed the decision and in 2017, but lost and a new ruling made by the Disciplinary Committee of the French Handball Federation required Nikola Karabatic to sit out six games and Luka Karabatic to sit out two.[141]

Motorsport [ edit ]

In September 2009, Formula 1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. admitted to having intentionally wrecked his race-car during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix due to team orders. It gave an advantage to his teammate Fernando Alonso who went on to win the race. Following a lawsuit by the Renault Formula 1 team against the Piquet family, a judge ruled in Piquet's favor due to overwhelming evidence against the team; fining the Renault Formula 1 team millions, liquidating various employees, banning the team from Formula 1 for 2 years (on suspended sentence) and various key members of Renault Formula 1 team being banned for life (which was later appealed).
