Most honest mainstream sport?
There have been threads, on which sports are the most corupt in terms of match fixing......but what about the otherside? what mainstream sport is the most honest, eg. players and officials least likely to be involved in match fixing?
I can't think of one better than golf. Don't think I've ever heard about any match fixing claim.

I've caught folks cheating in golf (dropping a ball in the rough/shaving strokes)--I bet cheating in golf is less than 1%, so yeah, golf would be a logical choice.
Bowling, tennis come to mind.

Tennis 20 years ago yes......but not in the last 20 years, there have been many match fixing claims, some proven
Bowling is a good one.....I guess with betting not much of a factor on that sport, helps things

The thing with bowling is your honesty isn't put to the test on a regular basis like some other sports. I was thinking swimming, but again not in the last 20 years, many of them have tested positive for banned substances.........

was all over the tv in london yesterday that over 200 soccer matches are suspected to have been fix. Everything from International friendlies to club matches.
They said specifically that fixing a match costed around $300,000. And that the profit margin was significantly greater then that. doesnt get any shadier then that.
