From sex and drugs to violence, gambling, and wholesale
conspiracies, scandals are everywhere in sports. Each of these
problems is its own issue, and every case is separate, but taken as
a whole this criminal pathology is indicative of a widespread
problem with athletes and responsibility. In this wide-ranging and
deep-seeking investigation, psychologist Stanley H. Teitelbaum asks
why elite athletes take enormous risks with their lives and
careers. Teitelbaum analyzes and diagnoses this culturally resonant
set of problems with an honest, critical eye, looking at everything
from baseball's steroid abusers to gambling scandals in the NBA to
the steady stream of athletes arrested for domestic violence to the
murder trials of O.J. Simpson and wrestler Chris Benoit. A
concluding chapter holds sports commissioners and others to task
for hiding behind a facade of ignorance and duplicitous na vete in
attempting to cover up or defuse brewing scandals.
