An investigation is underway in Sweden as allegations of match fixing are levied against Bjorkloven. The 8-4 loss to Mora in the Allsvenskan, a minor league just below the SHL, has raised eyebrows to which the CEO of Bjorkloven is welcoming the investigation.
The Allegation
Bjorkloven were up 3-0 in the contest when they gave up 7 goals. According to Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston, so much money was placed on Mora that “the odds changed in unusual ways” to the point that the game was removed from betting sites.
The allegation is that several players on Bjorkloven “deliberately acted” in manner that directly benefited Mora.
