Manipulation of sports competitions is a criminal behavior with serious social consequences, but the traditional accusation can not punish the criminality comprehensively, so that the offense, liability and punishment are not proportionate, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of sanctions. It is necessary to add the new crime of manipulating sports competitions to the crimes of public order offence, which conforms with the Constitution and relevant laws. But the offender, act and purpose of manipulating sports competitions are complicated, and there are obstacles in the definition of constitutive elements of the new crime. Therefore, in the transitional period before legislation of sports competition manipulation crime is adopted, the crime of sports fraud is constructed around sports integrity to affirm the act of sports competition manipulation with reference to the most directly infringed order of sports administration and the crime of fraud, so as to resolve the obstacles faced by the establishment of sports competition manipulation crime, realize the criminal law evaluation of the manipulation of sports competitions, and respond to the practical needs of society. The legislation will later be revised as the crime of sports competition manipulation under proper conditions. |
