Rona Macniven of the University of Sydney released a new survey at the Sports Medicine Australia congress on 15 October 2014. It shows that sporting bodies derive a substantial share of their sponsorship revenue from deals with companies that sell products deemed unhealthy. Fast food, alcohol and gambling account for 27% of the sponsorships in cricket, with rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules and soccer ranked next. Fast food chain McDonald’s has launched a new Western Sydney Wanderers meal, to be sold in 88 outlets across the soccer club’s catchment area in western Sydney
