The latest scandal involving the ASADA investigation of various NRL players could be the biggest scandal since the 2010 match fixing saga involving Ryan Tandy.
In NSW to optain property or financial advantage by deceipt is an offence.
Ryan Tandy, the then Cantebury Bulldogs player was found guilty of a deception offence. Namely, intentionally giving away a penalty to the North Queensland Cowboys in front of the posts so others would succeed in a “first-points-scorer” bet.
Section 192E of the CRIMES ACT 1900 (NSW) states

(a) obtains property belonging to another, or
(b) obtains any financial advantage or causes any financial disadvantage, is guilty of the offence of fraud.
