�Koreans are obsessed with winning Olympic golds and hosting mega-sports events like the Olympics,� said Chung Hee-joon, a professor of sports science at Dong-A University. �But other than that, they pay little attention, don�t care. So, widespread human rights violations, abuse of young athletes, beatings and violence in sports go ignored.
�Match fixing? It�s far more widespread than prosecutors say,� Chung added. �I dare say that it takes place in all sports. It�s not just the K-League.� |
