Abstract :

Background and Objective: The lack of appropriate criminalization of risky economic behaviors in the field of sports increases corruption and weakens the economic system of society. This article, while evaluating risky economic behaviors in the field of sports, also explains the necessity of criminalizing them. Materials and Methods: In the present study, the library method was used to collect information, and the descriptive-analytical method was used to analyze the findings. Findings: Sport is considered a positive phenomenon in all societies because its fundamental role in promoting a healthy lifestyle is significant. The existence of large financial resources, attractiveness, and development of sport have caused sport to be exposed to destructive phenomena such as corruption. In general, corruption hinders economic and social development, and corruption in sport reduces social capital and is a serious obstacle to the development of sport in societies. Compared to economic crimes, risky economic behavior in the field of sports sometimes causes very serious damage to the country's economic system. The findings indicate that the lack of appropriate criminalization of risky economic behavior in the field of sports causes the perpetrator and even others to engage in such behavior. Abnormal behaviors such as rent-seeking, influence-peddling, and abuse of position in obtaining cars or unconventional facilities without adequate guarantees, astronomical wages, and other such things increase due to the lack of an appropriate legislative mechanism, and perpetrators easily escape the clutches of the criminal justice system. This leads to increased economic corruption in the field of sports, public dissatisfaction, and the decline of the country's economic system. Conclusion: Criminalizing risky economic behaviors in the field of sports not only removes the fear of committing such behaviors on the part of perpetrators and others, but also has a preventive aspect (especially in the case of calculating perpetrators). As a result, one of the necessities of combating such behaviors is criminalizing them.
