Rogues, Rotters, Rascals and Cheats: The Greatest Sporting Scandals
Rogues, Rotters, Rascals and Cheats: The Greatest Sporting Scandals

Sporting world's darkest moments, vividly uncovered.

If you've ever been both fascinated and appalled by the darker side of sports, where the spirit of competition is eclipsed by scandal, this book will feed that intrigue. It's a candid exploration of the moments that shocked fans and tarnished the games we love. You're likely to find yourself riveted by the tales of deception, the downfall of heroes, and the flaws in human nature that transcend the world of sports.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A wonderful humor book for any sports enthusiast or lover of trivia. The history of sport is packed with outstanding athletic achievement and record-breaking heroism, but few care to remember that other inevitable aspect of sport: the cheating. Rogues, Rotters, Rascals and Cheats: The Greatest Sporting Scandals contains the most interesting instances of when man cannot rely on sporting prowess alone. From the Australian cricketer whose deviousness brought the condemnation of two world leaders to the marathon winner who had one firm advantage--she only ran half a mile; from Maradona's infamous "hand of God" goal to the world-record breaking Olympic woman's champion...who was really a man, these hilarious stories will leave you stunned at the audacity of these sporting cheats!
