MOSCOW, December 19 (R-Sport) – The Russian FA has dissolved its committee against match-fixing, president Nikolai Tolstykh said Wednesday.
Match-fixing is still thought to go on in Russian football, but the committee has very little power and has failed to identify any fixed results since it came into being in October 2011.
“Undoubtedly, the aim of creating the committee was to fight against match-fixing,” Tolstykh said.

“An order has been signed by me to dissolve this organ.”
Tolstykh, who was elected to the post in September on promises to clean up the game, did not give a reason for the move.
Anzor Kavazashvili, the head of the match-fixing committee, had been very vocal in recent weeks on a case involving Anzhi Makhachkala.
It is not clear if the move is related to Kavazashvili in any way.
He told R-Sport last week that police could be called in to investigate claims of match-fixing in a game against Amkar Perm with over $13 million and a player’s life reportedly at stake.
Anzhi’s 2-1 win at Amkar Perm last month was assessed by the FA and pronounced clear of suspicion before reports emerged in the Russian media that a former Amkar player was among several people to place unusually large bets on Anzhi.
At the time, many bookmakers suspended betting on the game. More
