Online reputation and news removal for athletes
An athlete's reputation affects transfers, contracts and sponsorship value; one false allegation copied across thousands of sites can become permanent.
Common problems
- False private life and discipline allegations multiplying on sports and gossip sites
- The same story copied to hundreds of sites through news agencies
- Fake accounts in your name scamming fans
- Waves of abuse and threats after matches
What we do
- Tracing the source, bulk requests to agencies and publishers, search engine delisting. For one well-known athlete we removed more than 600 negative stories and more than 5,000 separate articles.
- Taking down fake accounts and verifying official ones
- Evidence collection and platform reports for abuse and threats
- Promoting accurate information: Wikipedia, Knowledge Panel, official statements
Prevention
When agent, club and athlete share one spokesperson and one statement channel, crises are roughly halved.
Frequently asked questions
If a story is on hundreds of sites, do we file hundreds of requests?
First find the source; most copies multiply from one agency or site, and fixing the source resolves most of them.
