Declan Hill on corruption in FIFA and beyond
Following FIFA's corruption scandal, investigative journalist Declan Hill on the globalisation of sports corruption and how Canada fits into the picture.
Sepp Blatter has promised to turn the page on corruption in soccer after winning his fifth term as FIFA president on Friday. But he has his work cut out for him. The leadership vote came on the heels of corruption charges for 14 people in the soccer world, nine being FIFA officials.
When it comes to corruption in sports, academic and investigative journalist Declan Hill says Canada has been too silent. Author of The Insider's Guide To Match-Fixing in Football and The Fix: Soccer and Organised Crime, he's been undercover with match-fixers to investigate global sports corruption. He talks about how Canada fits in to that world.
