ペルー – ペルーのサッカー界で八百長スキャンダルが勃発

The Carlos Stein football club had dismissed eight players from the squad on suspicion of links with bookmakers and match fixing.

Brandon Palacios, a team player broke the story to local press:

“It’s a sensitive issue because they are saying that there are people involved in betting, they are people I know and have a lot of respect for, I don’t think they are involved in those things, but the president says that he has evidence and they were separated for something. If they have something (proof), let them show it, I’m not going to believe anything until they do,” said the 24-year-old.

According to Palacios the dismissal happened very quickly. “It was from one moment to another, they travelled to a game, they came back and they were separated .”

Match fixing in Latin America will need to be monitored very closely as sports betting continues to expand and there have been a number of match fixing stories of late.

Peru was the first jurisdiction to allow for online sports betting in Latin America granting Betsson Peru a license top operate as far back as 2008. There has been growing impetus to place more federal control over the industry. Locally based sportsbetting operators such as Betsson, Te Apuesto and Inkabet have created an organisation called the Asociación Peruana de Apuestas Deportivas APADELA which has been lobbying for a code of ethics, stricter rules against money laundering, self-exclusion programmes and more measures aimed to protect the integrity of sports.
