Summary

"Foul Play offers an inside track on the dark arts employed in sport to gain an unfair advantage ... From ball-tampering and bribery in cricket to rugby union's 'Bloodgate' scandal; from Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' to Alex Ferguson's managerial mind games; from the dodgy dealings of the ancient Greeks and the wily cunning of W.G. Grace to the doping scandals engulfing Marion Jones and Lance Armstrong, it's all here."--Back cover
