The Straight Dope Updated Edition: The Inside Story of Sport''s Biggest Drug Scandal

English

By (author): Chip Le Grand

What happened at Essendon, what happened at Cronulla, is only part of the story. From the basement office of a suburban football club to the seedy corners of Peptide Alley to the polished corridors of Parliament House, The Straight Dope is an inside account of the politics, greed and personal feuds which fuelled an extraordinary saga.

Clubs and coaches determined to win, a sports scientist who doesnt play by the rules, a generation of footballers held hostage by scandal and injected with who knows what, sport administrators hell bent on control, an anti-doping authority out of its depth, an unpopular government that just wants it to end. For two tumultuous seasons this was the biggest game in Australia.

The Straight Dope is here updated to include the most current and up-to-date material on this ongoing and seemingly never-ending saga. See more
