Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is simulation in sport?

    Model answer

    Simulation is pretending to be fouled or injured to deceive an official. Diving to win a penalty is simulation.

  2. 2

    Why do performers simulate?

    Model answer

    Simulation can win free kicks, penalties or get an opponent sent off. The rewards of a key decision can outweigh the risk.

  3. 3

    How do governing bodies punish simulation?

    Model answer

    Players can be shown a yellow card for simulation. Some leagues also ban players retrospectively after reviewing footage.

  4. 4

    What is bribery in sport?

    Model answer

    Bribery is offering money or favours to influence a result or decision. Performers, officials or organisers can be bribed.

  5. 5

    What are bungs in sport?

    Model answer

    Bungs are secret illegal payments, often made during player transfers. Agents or managers may take a cut of a transfer fee.

  6. 6

    What is match fixing?

    Model answer

    Match fixing is arranging the result of a match in advance. Fixing is usually carried out to profit from bets.
