Sport Bookazine Sporting Scandals First Edition Edição anterior

The world of sport is filled with countless stories of incredible achievements, awe-inspiring records and against-the-odds victories, but, sadly, it also has its dark side. For every Usain Bolt you’ll find a Ben Johnson, and for every act of fairness and sportsmanship you’re likely to find someone who will bend or break the rules to give themselves an advantage and a greater chance of success. In Sporting Scandals we delve into this dark side to explore some of the most notorious cover-ups, controversies and crimes in sporting history. Examining everything from football and golf to athletics, rugby and more, prepare to step into an arena of bribery, match-fixing, doping and even murder. Discover fascinating features on the Chicago White Sox players who conspired with a notorious criminal to ‘fix’ baseball’s World Series and the FIFA scandal that shook the beautiful game. Explore how years of sexual abuse in US gymnastics were finally brought to light, the story of the attack that rocked international figure skating, and a host of other examples of the lengths some people will go to, no matter the cost.
