The book is focused on solving the threats challenging sport, and aligns perfectly with the Asian Racing Federation as it recognises that corrupt leadership undermines values and creates an environment of fear and distrust.

The real world examples of major sports losing widespread public trust is a reminder to horse racing of why integrity is essential to the success of the sport." – Martin Purbrick, Chairman of the Asian Racing Federation Council on Anti-Illegal Betting and Related Financial Crime"This book provides a deep insight corruption in sport, with a particular focus on how the trust and legimacy of sport, and its institutions, are impacted by corruption.
