Exposing evil action of a referee? (7-7)

I believe the answer is:

whistle-blowing

This clue is a double definition.

'exposing evil' is the first definition.

'action of a referee?' is the second definition.

(Another definition for whistle-blowing that I've seen is " Revealing hidden wrongdoing".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
