China Looks to Employ Big Data to Tackle Persistent Misconduct in Soccer

China’s national sports regulator has plans to use big data to tackle the match-fixing, gambling, corruption and other misconduct that has marred the image of Chinese soccer for years.

China’s General Administration of Sport (GAS) vowed to have “zero tolerance” for misconduct that impedes the healthy development of the sport, according to a document made public by the Jiangsu provincial sports bureau on Tuesday.
