An integrity breach in sport is best described as:

• A. An action that compromises fair play, such as match-fixing or bribing officials.
• B. A routine scoreboard update after a match.
• C. A standard practice for athlete endorsements.
• D. A scheduling change due to weather.

Answer: (A)

Integrity in sport means fair play and honest competition; a breach occurs when those principles are violated. The best description is an action that compromises fair play, such as match-fixing or bribing officials, because these behaviors directly undermine the integrity of competition and erode trust among fans, players, and bettors. The other options describe routine operations or standard practices (updating scores, endorsements, or weather-related scheduling) that do not involve dishonesty or cheating.
