Scandals in Sport, Extended Version.

from Sport Shack Hosted by Paul Tonner

Paul is back for another action packed and entertaining episode. This week I will discuss some of the well-known sporting scandals from over the years. I will discuss some of the scandals from previous episodes e.g., Sandpaper gate, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, and will then go into more detail about some other well known sporting scandals, some that led to lifetime bans. Some of who I will discuss include. - A Canadian sprinter who won the race of the century and a few days later was stripped of his Olympic Gold and went home in disgrace. - New England Patriots and the Deflate gate and Spy gate scandals. - Match fixing in cricket e.g., Hansie Cronje - A basketball legend who was involved in an infamous sex scandal. - Chicago White Sox (Black Sox) scandal in 1919. - Doping in cycling e.g., Lance Armstrong and Lloyd Flandis. - Maria Sharapova, Martina Hingis, Simona Halep, Andre Agassi. - Randy Barnes and Justin Gaitlin. - 2000 Spanish Paralympic Basketball team. - Israel Folau and his controversial comments and battle with Rugby Australia. - The Stillnox Six I also have the Quiz, and segments Who Am I? and Where Are They Now?
