Description

The world sport structure is a private conglomerate defined by the Olympic Charter. It states that the main pillars of sport are: the International Olympic Committee, the international sports federations and the National Olympic Committees. However, at the national level, there are a number of entities that are closely linked to the former and, as a consequence of this hierarchy and submission, it is very likely that power will end up distorting the purpose of sporting institutions. In this context, one could ask: Is there corruption in sport? Does the International Olympic Committee tend to give in to economic powers? Do sports federations abuse their dominant position? In this sense, these questions and others that will be raised throughout the dissertation, will be analyzed in order to define and understand whether there really is endemic corruption in the sporting sphere.
