The social relation and role formed by referees in such a behavior and process are important and unique. About the “law enforcement” status of referees, there are such views as official duty view, commission view and employment view, and the author tends to agree with the commission view. If a referee accepts a bribe, participates in gambling, or manipulates a competition by intentionally twisting or violating the rules during “law enforcement”, thus damaging the interests of various parties, he/she should be held legally responsible.
