    The irony with the CTE scandal, is that the NFL sponsored the initial research, but once they noticed that CTE was a massive issue within the NFL and can be proven to be caused by on the field injuries, they pulled the plug on the research. Afterall, winning and money are much more important than the health of the players.

      @@Charlie-rx3ni There are reasons why gambling is prohibited, the main one being that it can lead to the player fixing games to make the bettors in on the schemes a boatload of cash. Pete's contention was that he was betting on the Reds and never fixed a game in the process. While I hope that one day the MLB commissioner might have a change of heart to consider what he contributed to baseball before he was found guilty, I do understand why they took the action. There was a precedent in the case of the White Sox scandal of 1919, and to treat him differently based on who he was would have been wrong.

    I would like to add NASCAR’s 2013 Spingate onto this list, albeit in the future. For those who maybe don’t know about it, here’s a brief summary: in the fall Richmond race in 2013, Clint Bowyer spun himself out on purpose to manipulate the outcome of the race in order to get his Michael Waltrip Racing teammate, Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase. Initially, Truex was in, but after an investigation by NASCAR, Truex was knocked out of the Chase, and Jeff Gordon took his place via a wildcard spot. Still to this day, it is the biggest monetary fine a team has recieved in NASCAR history, with MWR being hit with a $300K fine. It would end up being the final nail in the coffin for the team as it would cease operations following the 2015 season.

    21:52 I could list other scandalous situations in F1, the 2005 US Grand Prix (where Michelin tyre company had safety concerns about their tyres failing on the then diamond ground resurfaced Indianapolis Motor Speedway led to their teams, 14 out of 20, withdrawing from the race, leaving only 6 cars on Bridgestone tyres to run the 73 lap race. Michael Schumacher won for Ferrari, his team mate, Rubens Barrichello was second and Taigo Montiero was third for Jordan), Spygate (where McLaren was found to be in possession of thousands of pages of confidential Ferrari technical information in 2007, after initially being cleared of wrongdoing, McLaren were given a $100 million fine and were excluded from the 2007 World Championship) or 1975 Spanish Grand Prix (in what turned out to be the last race held under the Franco Dictatorship, the teams were blackmailed to run in unsafe conditions leading to one of the drivers having a rear wing failure, which pitched their car into a spectator enclosure, killing 5 and breaking the driver's leg) but the conspiracy by the Renault team to order Nelson Piquet Jnr to deliberately crash takes some beating in terms of infamy

      Everyone doped BUT Armstrong enjoyed extra advantage because he was the organiser or the doping ring .. other dopers had to let him win to carry on being part of his doping scheme. And of course, being the doping organiser, he certainly had control over being the most doped one more than other cyclists ...

He agreed to buy it for 165 million bucks, and when the money was due he kept coming up with excuses not to pay it (leaving off several zeroes on a check). He was actually the owner of the team for a few months before it became clear that it was all a fraud.
