India is a very corrupt democracy. As an Indian, I can tell you that sports are inherently corrupted to the degree in which money flows into it. For example, cricket is a sport rife with corruption to the point that the entire world cricket organizations and matches and tournaments are all suspect due to the heavy involvement of Indian corruption spreading its vile degenerate fingers into everything cricketing worldwide.

The only way you can trust anything here is if there is an independent individual measuring system that is completely corruption immune and resistant to external influences.

For example, physics, chemistry or scientific measurements. If a boxer is doping or throwing their fights etc. You can measure for those.
