单选题 Former England international football player Alan Shearer says there needs to be a zero tolerance policy to anyone found guilty of {{U}}fixing{{/U}} in football matches. Six people were arrested on Sunday over fixing, allegations in the sport and have been bailed until April. "You are never going to stop betting but you have to stop the people inside," Shearer said, "It just cannot happen. If anyone is found guilty then there should be zero tolerance."
Blackburn striker DJ Campbell was one of six people questioned by police in connection with fixing in football matches. The arrests were made following a story in The Sun Newspaper on Sunday in which Portmouth ex-player Sam Sodje told an undercover reporter he could arrange yellow and red cards in exchange for cash.
Following the allegations, the government's Culture Secretary Maria Miller called a meeting with leaders from football, cricket, horse racing, rugby league and rugby union. Football Association general secretary Alex Home said it was "a very positive meeting". He added: "The intelligence that we have is that this isn't a wide-scale issue at the moment but we really welcome the impetus behind the National Crime Agency, it's going to be a really important body for all of us in reminding people that these are criminal activities and that the criminal nature of these activities shouldn't be underestimated."
Staines Town manager Marcus Gayle, a former striker for Wimbledon when they were in the top flight, says match-fixers approached one of his players. "I was disgusted that it is still around in the game," he said, "We've had a recent incident in an approach towards our club and a player but we had to do the fight thing. We reported it less than 24 hours. When it was indicated to me that something had gone on, my call was to the chief executive to say that we need to report this to the authorities as soon as possible as we don't want any blemish on us as a club."
In a separate investigation, the NCA is examining claims that an international betting syndicate was involved in match-fixing. Four people, including two Conference South players, have been charged with fixing-related offences as part of that investigation.
It runs one of five schemes being funded by the European Commission to raise awareness of the issue, while it is working with leagues in six countries—including in the United Kingdom—to develop and pilot education programs.
