Rigging of sports games in Ukraine is a carry over from the old Soviet Days which
were rampant especially when teams were trying to survive.
You might recall as recent as 1995 Dynamo Kyiv was kicked out of the ECLeague for trying to "buy" the Spanish referee with a couple of furs.
UEFA was supposed to suspend them for 3 years but Kravchuk, the President of Ukraine at the time pleaded with UEFA and the suspension was only for a year.
European basketball is offered in Ukraine at a lower limit.
