Blacks and Non-Whites are not exactly known for their sense of fair-play, in fact it hardly seems fair to allow different races to compete against each other in the first place, but as well as that, they also regularly get caught out for arranging to throw a match or a fight, so that gamblers can make huge winnings from them.

From the Daily Mail:

A footballer and two Far Eastern businessmen have been jailed for plotting to fix the results of lower league football matches.

Footballer Michael Boateng, 22, was found guilty along with businessmen Chann Sankaran and Krishna Ganeshan, of conspiracy to commit bribery following a four-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

Singaporean Sankaran, 34, and Sri-Lankan-born Ganeshan, 44, labelled in court as ‘the controlling minds’ behind efforts to influence the outcome of matches in League Two and the Conference South, were each jailed for five years.

Boateng, a former defender with Conference South club Whitehawk FC, was sentenced to 16 months in prison for his role in the plot.

Sentencing the trio, Judge Melbourne Inman QC said: ‘Professional football and sport play an important part in national life and individuals’ lives in this country.

‘Those who make determined attempts to destroy its integrity for personal gain must expect significant prison sentences so when such acts are discovered a clear signal is sent to others.’

The judge told Sankaran he would be ‘liable to deportation’ back to his home country once he had served his sentence, but it would be a matter for the Home Secretary.

He told the co-conspirators their scheme was laid bare by surveillance and covertly recorded conversations following an investigation by the the National Crime Agency (NCA).

To Ganeshan, of Hastings, East Sussex, and Sankaran, of Singapore, he said: ‘I am satisfied you were at the head of this conspiracy, you two were the controlling minds.

‘The two of you came to this country in November last year, for the sole reason of visiting clubs to find players you could corrupt to fix matches.’

He said they had purposefully targeted lower division football clubs because the cost of bribing the players ‘on their modest wages’ was cheaper than approaching players from the higher leagues.

‘This was an, if not sophisticated, then well-planned and determined conspiracy motivated by the expectation of significant gain,’ the judge said.

He also said it was ‘sad to see’ Boateng, who it was heard had been a valued church and charity group youth worker in London, appearing in court.

His barrister, Denis Barry, told the judge how children in the south London community where he volunteered felt ‘very badly let down’ by a man they had seen as a role model.

‘He has lost his good name in the community,’ he said.

The judge told Boateng, from Croydon, London: ‘You allowed yourself to quickly be drawn in to this scheme’, and said he was ‘perfectly willing to corrupt other footballers’ as part of the conspiracy.

The co-conspirators had denied trying to throw the results of football matches, including the game between AFC Wimbledon and Dagenham & Redbridge on November 26 last year, in order to make money from bets placed on the outcomes.
