Virtual Sports Fraud
Fraud, or more commonly referred to as “cheating”, in sport is nothing new. It is an age-old problem that has never been, and likely never will, be eradicated. It spans all platforms of sport; it doesn’t discriminate. Whether it is cycling (Lance Armstrong), the Olympics (Russia’s systematic doping), Cricket (the Australian “sandpaper-gate”), Rugby Union (“bloodgate”) or football (insider betting), all have fallen victim at one point or another. This time it is motorsport and the ABB FIA Formula E (“Formula E”) Audi racing driver Daniel Abt that steals the headlines.
