Manipulation

AT THE WKF, WE FIRMLY SAY NO TO MANIPULATION OF COMPETITIONS!

We are truly committed to fight match fixing, betting, tanking, and insider information as such, preserving fair play, equal competition and ultimately, the very spirit of sport.

Competition  manipulation is the act of intentionally altering the course of a match or competition to ensure that a specific event occurs. It can take many different forms, such as an athlete intentionally losing or performing a certain action during a match to make a bet successful,

Everyone is susceptible to illicitactors and may be influenced by those with mal intents. It could be athletes, athlete support personnel and officials and this is why the WKF strongly recommend that everyone take the Course created by the Olympic Movement Unit of the IOC.
