Australia has decided to the Sports Betting Integrity Unit, to intensify its fight against the illegal practices in the betting industry. This unit will strengthen the national anti-doping regulator.
The new body is expected to tackle match-fixing and cheating in local sports. It will also oversee the nation’s top sporting codes, such as the AFL and NRL. The new national sports integrity commission is likely to begin its operation in July 2020 and will gather and act on intelligence about match-fixing and corruption.
The Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Sports Anti-doping Authority (ASADA) would also get more powers to tackle doping under this new guidance. The authority will also work with federal agencies to collect intelligence and work with integrity units.
The creation of the new unit comes after an inquiry by former police corruption royal commissioner James Wood, who raised concerns after it was revealed that information about corruption and organised crime infiltration of sport was not being acted upon.
