 By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia is closing legislative loopholes to fight sports-related corruption but needs to allow police to share more information with sports administrators, former International Cricket Council boss Malcolm Speed has said. Speed, ICC chief executive from 2001-08, now heads the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports (COMPPS), an advocacy group representing the governing bodies of top Australian sports including cricket, rugby and soccer. Australia has been on the front foot drafting legislation to fight betting-related corruption, and convicted two British footballers in Victoria state in December using new legislative powers. World soccer's governing body FIFA extended a lifetime ban globally on the players on Monday after they were banned in Australia for seeking to corrupt outcomes in Victoria's state-level competition.
