Match-Fixing Controversy
On Sept. 12, 2012 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that a CSL game between the Trois-Rivières Attack and Toronto Croatia held on Sept. 12, 2009 was fixed.
The report, which aired on the news program The National, revealed Court documents showing that €15,000 ($18,000 Cdn) in bribes were paid to several players on the Toronto Croatia team.
The game was part of a larger match-fixing scandal in Europe in which six people were convicted.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
