ARSENE WENGER fears it is impossible to stop match-fixing in football.
But he feels the English game is 99.9 per cent clean and hopes this week's revelations about rigged matches are a one-off.
Wenger said: "Can it be eradicated completely? I'm not sure.
Is it a concern for all who love the game?
"Certainly yes. Once you don't know if everyone is genuine out there, that is something disastrous.
"We have to fight it with the strongest severity to get it out of the game.
"I don't believe that in England people fix matches, but we live in an international world and you cannot just stop it at the border any more.
When Wenger was Monaco boss, 1993 French champions and European Cup winners Marseille were relegated and chucked out of European competition by UEFA.
