DEAD SEA, Jordan, May 3 (Reuters) - Betting fraud and match-fixing are part of the reason why China and India have achieved little in soccer despite their huge populations, anti-corruption expert Chris Eaton said on Sunday.
Eaton, the executive director of the non-profit-making International Centre for Sports Security, urged governments to take more control of the problem and said the sport was a victim and not the cause of widespread betting fraud.
Speaking at the Soccerex Asian Forum, he said countries should follow the United States in moving towards "transparent, legalised, regulated and supervised sport betting, so there will be far less money to fix football or any other sports matches.
