Question The Football Conspiracy Theory?

BBC News - Match-fixing dogs European football even after arrests
Is European football experiencing an epidemic of match-fixing that is beyond the power of the authorities to control?
You could easily draw this conclusion from the number of recent arrests - 46 last week in Turkey, 15 in Germany in November - and from the evidence gathered by investigators in Germany's north-western city of Bochum.
They spent much of 2009 listening in on the telephone conversations of a group they believe fixed the outcome of more than 200 football matches across Europe and made millions of euros by betting on them.
The group preyed on the small, the weak, the vulnerable.
And according to police documents, as well as the carrot and stick of bribe and threat, they considered other possibilities, including that of drugging footballers, either with the help of a team doctor or the hotel kitchen staff preparing their food...


This is so very sad... such a beautiful game plagued with this.
But how far does it go? I have seen articles written about how FIFA might have a hand in fixing draws to get more interesting match up, how nations and leagues might be part of it to make football more popular and more of a money maker.
What are your thought on the football conspiracy theory?

Ha Ha! We kick it occasionally.

And when we do, sometimes it is worth 3 points!

The All Blacks were poisoned leading up to the 1995 Rugby World Cup final.

Something that the movie " Invictus " overlooked.
