Describe the role of integrity units in sports governance and two key functions they perform.

• A. Integrity units monitor and investigate suspicious betting and coordinate with law enforcement.
• B. Integrity units monitor and investigate suspicious betting and match-fixing and coordinate with law enforcement.
• C. Integrity units monitor and investigate suspicious betting and match-fixing and coordinate with law enforcement; they also develop education programs and prevention measures.
• D. Integrity units regulate ticketing and security.

Answer: (C)

Integrity units in sports governance are there to protect the integrity of competition. They actively monitor betting markets for irregular activity, investigate potential corrupt practices such as match-fixing, and coordinate with law enforcement when illegal activity is involved. Equally important, they develop education programs and prevention measures to deter corruption, raise awareness among players, officials, and fans, and promote ethical conduct across the sport. This combination of investigative work and proactive prevention best captures what integrity units actually do.

The other options fall short because they either omit match-fixing, omit education and prevention, or shift focus to areas like ticketing and security that aren’t the core duties of integrity units.
