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.

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@6Snaus]

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.

[@SiVlog1989]

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?!"

Armstrong ruined so many honest careers. Bane: Your punishment must be more severe.

[@willdallas53]

Lol what? In the 7 years that Armstrong won the tour 87% of the top-10 finishers (61 of 70) were either suspected or confirmed as steroid cheats with 48 of them confirmed to have failed drug tests. They were all cheating.

There should be a list for the tour of France alone.

As of 2022, a new big scandal rocked sports involving the 2010 Stanley Cup winning Chicago Blackhawks. Ex-Blackhawks including Kyle Beach were sexually assaulted by former assistant coach Brian Aldrich and was kept secret from the NHL despite the entire team and league knowing about it. As a result, former head coach then Florida Panthers coach Joel Queneville was fired, along with Chicago GM Stan Bowman among others.

The women that were hurt should be the worst scandal out of all of them. If it had more publicity, would that help them win? I feel disgusted that women being treated like this is no that big of a scandal.

A sad thing about Lance Armstrong is that he threw everyone for a loop make it seem that he was the boss at cycling when really it was all cheating

[@seppejosten219]

Yeah but everybody in that peleton whas on drugs maybe not all on the same and not the same amount but everybody was on doping in the nineties and 00 in roadcycling

[@88feji]

@@seppejosten219 But Lance won because he was the organiser of the doping ring, other dopers had to let him win if they want to carry on being part of his doping scheme to get sponsor money etc.... Also, he was the most doped one more than any other people in the sports..

The Astros should’ve never stolen signs but let’s stop acting like they were the first and only team to ever do it

[@jonmendelson1104]

I'm surprised John Spano buying the New York Islanders wasn't on here. For those who don't know (who are looking this deep in the comments nearly a year after the video was made), he defrauded the NHL and didn't have anywhere near the money to buy the team, let alone run it. 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.

I'd rank the Trevor Chappell underarm bowling incident and the 2018 Sandpapergate scandal over the Storm scandal as the worst sport scandals in Australia.

[@paulnorton2885]

I would rate the Essendon AFL club's performance-enhancing drug supplement scandal, and instances of rorting of salary caps and draught rules by AFL and NRL clubs, as the worst along with Sandpapergate. The underarm bowling incident was tawdry, unsporting and contrary to the spirit of cricket, but it was within the rules of the ODI tournament in Australia that summer.

[@paulnorton2885]

There was also the infamous "Fine Cotton" ring-in in a Brisbane horse race in 1984. The immediate perpetrators of the scandal were small fry, but some of Australia's leading racing identities had been tipped off about the ring-in and stood to make thousands of dollars of ill-gotten gains as a result of the fake Fine Cotton winning the race. As it happened the people who did the ring-in did a very poor job of disguising the horse that was used to impersonate Fine Cotton, and the racing club stewards noticed the dyes and paints used for this purpose running from the horse's legs after he returned to the mounting yard, disqualified him from winning the race, impounded him, and eventually the truth came out.

[@FoxxyFire-HellFrost]

I do find the Lance Armstrong thing to be absolutely one sided. Everyone was doping. Everyone. Yet Lance was the only one who was banned from the sport AND had his wins taken away. The fact is, there was no honest way to win when he was racing, so why was he the only one who got called out? Sounds like a scapegoat to me.
