There have been a number of high profile incidents brought to light in 2015/16.
It began in 2015 with the FIFA President being sentenced to an eight year all football related ban for making an illegal payment to Michel Platini. Despite this ban he is still getting paid his extortionate salary.

This summer England played cricket against the Pakistani side that contained a player Mohammed Amir on his return from a match fixing ban

The Rio Olympics revealed a number of problems even though the security for the games was supplied by 7 Israeli countries, this did not stop the haters and bad sportsmen crawling out of the woodwork
Full story
Now also from Rio, all 36 boxing referees and judges have been suspended indefinitely following a couple of controversial decision on bouts where both Michael Conlan and Vassily Levit both appeared to easily win their bouts but were adjudged to have lost their fights.
