Cheating Scandals

Where's Gaylord Perry?

And there have been a number of point-shaving scandals in college basketball over the years. Kentucky in the '50s, North Carolina in the '60's, Tulane in the '80s were among the many schools implicated.

How about SMU football -- ``we've got a payroll to meet'' -- and the rest of the old Southwest Conference? Remember when Hart Lee Dykes got three schools put on probation?

And yes, Ben Johnson is a huge omission. Johnson and the Black Sox are neck-and-neck for No. 1.

 

Really. SMU practically killed the Southwest Conference by itself.

And Gaylord Perry and Mike Scott and others were also famous for allegedly doctoring balls.

 

Serie A 2005-06 season. The definition of cheating scandal.

 

Rosie Ruiz cheated in the Boston Marathon.....and Don Sutton?

What about the 1985 NBA lottery?

 

What about the point shaving scandals in NCAA hoops in the 50s? Lots of teams went down in this and tons of future NBAers careers were ruined.

Fuck you.

Like the fucking Raiders never did them either.

 

How about Syracuse losing a NCAA championship because one of the Gait boys getting a bad car loan?

Or, the FBI coming into the Arizona State locker room at halftime against Washington State and saying "you guys really need to start scoring more points."

Fuck you Steven "Headache" Smith. Fuck you Bill Freider.

...oh different kind of cheating.. sorry

 

I'm not sure that I consider what was done in the name of Tonya Harding to be cheating.

A criminal offense, certainly.

Besides, everybody knows the No. 1 cheating scandal:

Lance Armstrong.

(ducks)

 

I laughed outloud at that

 

Starman's close but it's Black Sox 1, Johnson 2
