greatest impact on student-athletes intention to purchase counterfeits sporting goods. although factors of perceived behavior and subjective norms were also affecting
the decisions. The male youth-athletes have higher positive attitude in relation
to subjective norms and perceived behavior control to purchase counterfeit sports products. The youth-athletes perceived the same intention to acquire counterfeit
