"The failure of sports self-regulation has led to little enforcement of existing standards, as seen in a series of scandals across international sports. To address this gap, we recommend a global regulator to ensure the implementation of good governance in sports globally against clear minimum criteria for assessment established by universal standards. Regulation could be supported by enforcement mechanisms, including rewards for compliance (through verification, audits, assurance of adherence, etc.) and sanctions for non-compliance."
I don't want to withhold a meritorious paper from you that addresses an extremely important topic for world sport. At least for all those who are really concerned about Good Governance and the investigation of criminal and corruptive activities in organised sport. The question is that of an agency that could coordinate measures to combat systemic excesses of the sports business worldwide, analogous to WADA and the WADC (World Anti-Doping Code).
