18 of the Most Shocking Sports Cheating Scandals in History

Whenever competitive sports turn pro, there becomes an increased incentive to win. Livelihoods depend on it, and there are millions if not billions of dollars to be had. And whenever stakes rise to those levels, some people will do whatever it takes to get ahead, including cheating. Here are some of the biggest cheating scandals in sports history.

In 2007, the McLaren Formula 1 team engaged in a fierce fight with Ferrari for both the driver's and team's championships.

They were fined $100 million, and disqualified from their eventual team's championship. But that was hardly the only scandal to come from the 2007 season.


Read about that, and the 17 of the other biggest sports cheating scandals in history.
