Poll: Nearly 9 in 10 Greeks Distrust Basketball Referees After Bribery Scandal
Nearly nine in 10 Greeks have little or no trust in the country's basketball referees after a bribery scandal that has led to the jailing of the national federation's president, a new poll shows. The GPO survey for sports news site Athletiko found that 57.4% of respondents do not trust Greek basketball refereeing at all, and another 31.1% trust it only a little. Just 10.9% said they trust it somewhat or a lot. "Not at all" was the most common answer among fans of all major clubs, including Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, AEK, PAOK and Aris. The poll suggests that doubts predated the scandal.
