A list of prominent projects in the field of sport competition manipulations:
The project is led by the EOC EU Office and is supported by the IOC. Its objective is to help National Olympic Committees, European Federations and national sport federations in Europe to safeguard the integrity of their sport(s) and to strengthen their governance. The specific objective is to develop a structure and system of ‘Single Points of Contact for Integrity’ within National Olympic Committees and European federations.
INTERPOL and the IOC carry out out a wide range of national and regional joint training sessions to raise awareness and build capacity within law enforcement and sports organizations to facilitate effective investigations into competition manipulation.
As part of the first period of their partnership (2015 – 2017), INTERPOL and the IOC organized 30 tailor-made capacity building training events involving 46 different countries, with some 1,100 participants trained.
The partnership was renewed in July 2018 and already a number of trainings have been carried out.
Development and implementation of effective reporting mechanisms for use in sport
UNODC and the IOC are working together towards the development of a handbook with the ultimate aim of assisting sports organizations, governments, and relevant stakeholders in the development and implementation of effective reporting mechanisms for use in sport.
For this purpose in February over 40 international experts from Government, Sports Organizations, academia and the private sector gathered today at the headquarters of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to reflect on how to develop effective mechanisms to promote reporting of unethical, illicit and illegal activities linked to sport.
