Fred Lores.

In the 1904 Olympics, American runner Fred Lores initially won the marathon.

However, it was discovered that he had cheated.

After running 9 miles, he got tired,

and his manager gave him a lift in his car and drove the next 11 miles.

He then ran the last part to the finish line.

When people found out, they took away his victory and gave it to Thomas Hicks,

who finished the race without cheating,

although he was given a mix of brandy and a poison called strychnine by his trainers to keep him going.

Fred Lores was banned from running for a year.

The Chicago White Sox In 1919,

the Chicago White Sox baseball team,

who were the favorites to win the World Series,

lost against the Cincinnati Reds.

One year later, eight members of the team were accused of losing on purpose.

The players were paid a lot of money to lose the games.

Although they were found not guilty in court,

they were banned from professional baseball for life.

This scandal led to major changes in baseball.

Maradona.

Of course, the most famous cheating event in sports history happened in 1986,

during the World Cup quarterfinals.

Argentine soccer player Diego Maradona scored a controversial goal against England using his hand.

The referee didn't see the handball and allowed the goal,

which Maradona called the hand of God.

Argentina won the match 2-1,

with Maradona scoring another brilliant goal this victory helped Argentina advance and eventually win the World Cup.

Years later, Maradona admitted that the goal was scored with his hand,

saying it was, a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God.

Nancy Kerrigan.

In 1994, American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked after a practice session.

A man hit her on the knee with a baton.

Later, it was discovered that the attack had been planned by Jeff Galluli,

the ex-husband of Kerrigan's main rival, Tonya Harding.

He hired someone to attack Kerrigan and prevent her from competing in the Winter Olympics.

However, Kerrigan recovered and won a silver medal at the Olympics,

while Harding was banned from the sport for life.

The incident became one of the biggest scandals in sports history.

Spain's Paralympic Basketball Team In the 2000 Sydney Paralympics,

Spain's basketball team won the gold medal.

However, it was later discovered that 10 out of the 12 players did not have any intellectual disabilities.

They had lied about their conditions to compete.

The scandal came to light when a journalist who had infiltrated the team exposed the truth.

The International Paralympic Committee stripped the team of their gold medal,

and the rules for checking athletes' disabilities became much stricter.

Lance Armstrong Lance Armstrong was a celebrated American cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times between 1999 and 2005.

However, in 2012, he was stripped of his titles after it was revealed that he had used performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career.

but eventually admitted to doping in a 2013 interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The scandal led to a lifetime ban from competitive cycling,

severely damaging his reputation and career.
