International sports institutions have started to set up internal reporting mechanisms to allow actors in the sports sector to provide information on ethical wrongdoings occurring around them, such as match-fixing or doping. Analogous compliance mechanisms have been implemented for years in non-sport sectors and are the subject of a vast quantity of literature analysing notably the determinants of whistleblowing behaviour. In order to assess the potential effectiveness of reporting channels in sport, the author reviews the literature on whistleblowing determinants and discusses their weight in the sport sector. Findings identify several sport specificities which undermine the likelihood of whistleblowing, with, in particular: the weak power position and moral reasoning of athletes, intense organisational loyalties and non-supportive organisational culture. The paper concludes with a number of managerial recommendations for international sports organisations that want to infuse ethical values and promote reporting behaviour.

国际体育机构已开始建立内部报告机制，以允许体育部门的行为者提供有关发生在他们身边的道德不端行为的信息，例如假球或兴奋剂。类似的遵守机制已经在非体育领域实施了多年，并且是大量文献的主题，尤其是分析举报行为的决定因素。为了评估体育报道渠道的潜在有效性，作者回顾了有关举报决定因素的文献，并讨论了其在体育领域的重要性。调查结果确定了几种体育特征，这些特征破坏了举报的可能性，尤其是：运动员的弱势地位和道德推理，强烈的组织忠诚度和不支持组织的文化。本文最后为国际体育组织提供了一系列管理建议，这些组织希望灌输道德价值观并促进报告行为。
