The worst *boo hiss!* sporting story of all time

The worst boo hiss! sporting story of all time

... has to be Spain who were stripped of their gold medal in the 2000 basketball event for people with learning difficulties after it was confirmed that ten of the 12 members of the team were not disabled.

I mean, how COULD you?

"Grandad, Grandad! Tell me the story about how you won your gold medal!!"

"Well Fernando; back in 2000, I - and nine team mates - pretended to have learning difficulties so we could cheat our way to victory against opponents with genuine mental impairment."

"Grandad - I am so proud of you. My hero!"
