Cheaters, gamblers, drugs, and violence. Sound like the latest
action/adventure film? It is most likely playing in a stadium, ice
rink, track field, basketball court, or ballpark near you. We're
talking about the larger-than-life scandals that often surround and
sometimes engulf the world of sports. Covering everything from the
little leagues to college and professional sports, Sports Scandals
offers students an intriguing, readable guide to the most notorious
scandals in American sports history. Each chapter focuses on a
specific category of scandal, including race-related,
gender-related, drug-related, violence-related, recruiting and
academic-related, and coaching scandals. Insightful, in-depth
entries offer and overview of the historical and cultural context,
what occurred and who was involved, as well as the response to the
scandal. Entries within chapters clearly outline the diversity of
viewpoints surrounding the scandal as well as the associated
ethical, moral, and legal issues. Highlighting why sport scandals
matter to athletes, to coaches, to teams, to organizations, to the
media, and to the public, this volume is an ideal resource for both
ready reference and for reading cover-to-cover. Among the scandals
