"Restoring Trust in Sport: Corruption Cases and Solutions is a foundational work on the subject. The book is focused on solving the threats challenging sport, and aligns perfectly with the Asian Racing Federation as it recognises that corrupt leadership undermines values and creates an environment of fear and distrust. Catherine lucidly reviews integrity in sport, including a series of case studies of events in sport that have caused a loss of trust at a global scale. The real world examples of major sports losing widespread public trust is a reminder to horse racing of why integrity is essential to the success of the sport." – Martin Purbrick, Chairman of the Asian Racing Federation Council on Anti-Illegal Betting and Related Financial Crime
