Details

In April 2023, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport commissioned a piece of independent research into international comparisons of national sport integrity systems.

This report was prepared by Professor MJ McNamee and Chiel Warners in April 2024.

This interdisciplinary report investigates the worldwide development of national sport integrity bodies and their operations. It explores the challenges and opportunities inherent in such developments in terms of cultural, ethico-political and legal dimensions, and highlights potential efficiency and effectiveness benefits arising from an national approach to sport integrity.

The analysis and findings are those of the authors and do not represent the views of聽DCMS.
