scandal in sports

A sports scandal involves a significant controversy or wrongdoing that damages the integrity of a sport. This can include actions like match-fixing, doping (using banned substances), bribery, or illegal conduct by athletes, coaches, or officials. Such scandals often lead to public outrage, sanctions, and a loss of trust among fans and participants. They highlight issues related to fairness, ethics, and the integrity of competitive sports, sometimes prompting stricter regulations or reforms to prevent future misconduct.
