Organised crime in Australia extensively infiltrated various sports, notably horse racing, for illegal gambling and profit. Key figures, like Terrence Clark and Robert Trimbole, used bribery, doping, and violence to fix races, laundering drug money in the process. The text details numerous incidents of race fixing, including a horse-switching scam and instances of threats and violence against those who refused to cooperate. Beyond horse racing, the report reveals corruption in other sports such as greyhound racing, football, and boxing, highlighting the pervasive nature of match-fixing and the substantial sums involved. The widespread illegal betting fuelled these criminal enterprises, demonstrating the close link between organised crime and sports wagering in Australia.
