The [[European Gaming and Betting Association]], the [[European Sports Security Association]] and the [[Remote Gambling Association]] jointly commissioned [[Coventry University]]’s [[International Centre for the Business of Sport]] to produce a report on their behalf. ''The Prevalence of Corruption in International Sport: A Statistical Analysis'' <ref> Samantha Gorse & Professor Simon Chadwick, 11th November 2011, [http://www.egba.eu/pdf/Report-FINAL.pdf The Prevalence of Corruption in International Sport: A Statistical Analysis] Coventry University’s International Centre for the Business of Sport, accessed 26th April 2012 </ref> found that corruption cases in sport were predominantly accounted for by incidences of doping, 96%, and that betting related (and non-betting related) match fixing accounted for 3% and misuse of insider information 1.5% of all corruption in sport. <ref> Samantha Gorse & Professor Simon Chadwick, 11th November 2011, [http://www.egba.eu/pdf/Report-FINAL.pdf The Prevalence of Corruption in International Sport: A Statistical Analysis] Coventry University’s International Centre for the Business of Sport, accessed 26th April 2012 </ref> 

Declan Hill described the research as "Dreadful" and pointed out that the data set used was incomplete, problems with data collection, sample bias, they used reported corruption to compile the data without considering unreported or undetected cases of corruption, the survey design also came under fire.  <ref> Declan Hill, 20 December 2011, [http://www.playthegame.org/news/detailed/dreadful-research-and-the-private-european-gambling-industry-5312.html Dreadful Research and the [Private] European Gambling Industry], Play The Game, accessed 26th April 2012 </ref> Hill also points out that the report can not be described as academic as it was not peer reviewed.  Hill concludes his assessment of the report "So in my opinion, the Coventry Report does serve a useful purpose. It is so bad, it is so heavily supported by commercial interests outside of academia, that it is a great red-flag warning. If you are a politician or a sports official or a journalist and someone cites the research then you can immediately question their findings" <ref> Declan Hill, 20 December 2011, [http://www.playthegame.org/news/detailed/dreadful-research-and-the-private-european-gambling-industry-5312.html Dreadful Research and the [Private] European Gambling Industry], Play The Game, accessed 26th April 2012 </ref>
