Abstract: The purpose of criminal punishment of the match-fixing in sports is to protect the fairness and authenticity of sports competitions, which is a substantial legal benefit with the basis of constitution and sports law, directly manifested as the right to fair competition and the right to watch the real competition. However, in the current practice, the match-fixing in sports competitions is indirectly regulated by gambling crime and taking bribes by non-state staff. This indirect regulation mode presents such problems as poor protection, lack of system and analogy explanation. In order to protect the fairness and authenticity of sports competitions more comprehensively, directly and systematically, it is necessary to move from explanatory theory to legislative theory. In the previous stage of actual law, the criminal match-fixing should be added to the criminal law in our country, set as an untrue identity offence, consequence offence and legal offence, so as to maintain the punishment limit of criminal law and rationalize the relationship between the criminal law and the pre-law. In the stage of actual law, based on the principles of type, system and clarity of criminal legislation, we should make necessary amendments and explanations to the crime of obstructing doping administration, so that this crime will become a special crime of the match-fixing. In addition, the cross-competition relationship between the two crimes will be clarified.
