Is it shocking anymore? So many sports and so many sporting heroes have been caught over the years that betting scandals are almost part of sport now. Live TV and lack of will power has meant more people are throwing results than will ever be found out. Individual sports are easier to nobble but team sports can easily be effected.

For every Roy there are tens of  Harrys and Sams and Georges who take the money and see nothing wrong. Human Beings are often like that. Shocking? Not anymore. Sad? Yes
