Authorities to investigate Asian Games match-fixing claims

The Olympic Council of Asia, FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation are understood to be investigating match-fixing claims regarding the football competition in the 2014 Asian Games. The allegations were reported in Singapore’s The New Paper, and were made by SportRadar’s Managing Director of Strategy and Integrity, Andreas Krannich.  

“We strongly believe there have been manipulated matches at the Asian Games”, Krannich told The New Paper. “For example, on a certain match in this competition, bettors were incredibly confident of a goal being scored in the final minutes. The odds movements and the deviations caused alerts, belying clear betting evidence that could never be justified in a regular contest”.
