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.

[@fayeslover]

Concussion is one of the best movies I'll probably never watch again. Still pisses me off how Dr. Bennet Omalu was treated after trying to uncover the truth. It took Dave Duerson's suicide note explicitly stating the doctor was right for them to realize they couldn't bury it anymore.

Of course, all this could be solved if they removed helmets and pads and got rid of this attitude among certain players about hitting hard. Rugby is a very physical sport, but you don't see those guys having their brains demolished.

Just like Exon Mobile sponsored the climate research but then found out through it that letting people know what they found would have a horrible effect on their business, they tried to cover it up and make a science issue a political issue.

[@jasontibbetts9981]

They did the same thing with the 'defalted' footballs. After scientists argued that the ideal gas law would explain the loss of pressure in the balls, the league said they would test over the year and reveal the results. They never revealed and never said another word about it

Worst scandal ever... Irving "Irv" Blitzer is an American bobsled double gold medalist at the 1968 Winter Olympics, who finished first in two events again at the 1972 Winter Olympics but was disqualified for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica. He hid weights under the sled

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.

[@jarrettgrigg3589]

Pete Rose *is* a baseball legend, not "was". None of his records were removed from the books. Did he have a gambling problem? Yes. Was he banned from baseball and the Hall of Fame? Yes. None of that changes his accomplishments on the field or his status as a legend of the game.

[@wendyraines8011]

Agreed. If OJ Simpson is in the HOF, Why cant PR have the same.

[@will.a.benjamin]

In the video they said "should be" a legend. He is a legend no matter what. Problem is he screwed up and was stupid as he says himself.

[@Charlie-rx3ni]

Ikr Gambling isn’t cheating

[@stone1andonly]

@@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.

[@teagueroellchen2634]

I was in a bar in Cleveland watching the bishop Sycamore High School football game a couple months ago and they were losing by 65 points and I'm literally saying there's no way that this is a real team😂

[@grahamdamberger7130]

They weren't. They were a team of high school and college dropouts promised by Johnson that they would be noticed by scouts. And this wasn't the first time that he pulled that stunt. He did it with Christians of Faith, who were, surprising to no one, another fake school.

The Astros didn't get punished enough. No players suffered any real consequences for their roles in the scandal, and they got to keep their World Series trophy. Between that and the hacking scandal from their scouting director a couple years earlier, they are easily the most despicable franchise in baseball right now.

[@sylocate]

many other teams were doing it already before the astros. We just became the scapegoat.

[@thriftygamer8366]

@@sylocate the whataboutism almost makes it palatable. Howie Kendrick’s two run go ahead shot saved baseball. Hey though it’s cool because you are right Alex Cora during his bench management and later managerial career with the Boston Suck Sox did it too. So, once a cheater always a cheater.

[@TimCarter]

He is only one of many who lost their gold after failing a dope test. How about the 1976 East German women's swim team, who were told to take excessive steroids, without explanation, and they turned into half-men, broke all of the world records, and still passed the drug tests.

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

[@SiVlog1989]

This sums up how farcical the 2005 US Grand Prix was, the lead British commentator at the time, James Allen, said in his summary of the race the following (and it's clear from it how disgusted he was): "Well it's an illustration of how the teams in Formula One can't agree, even in the most extreme circumstances. The FIA didn't seem to want to help either. Formula One should be deeply ashamed of itself today, it lost all semblance of common sense here at Indianapolis, pinch me! Did I really see this?!"

Cannot believe Rugby League is on this list. For those who don't know, Melbourne storm are a super successful football club, and rugby league has a salary cap (at the time roughly around 8 million) in which each club can spend on players in the squad. Melbourne at the time, we're basically undefeated and had ALOT of star power, and they were sitting at about 20 million total. Literally the biggest cheating scandal in Australian history.

[@FloridaMann123]
