Bill Belichik and Spygate ~ Tom Brady and Deflategate ~ Nancy Kerrigan attacked at the Olympics ~ Red Sox Manager Alex Cora sign stealing with The Houston Astros.

What do these actions have in common? They all are examples of sports cheats, people who will do anything to win!

Cheating doesn’t just exist in major sports. It occurs everywhere people compete, from fencing to boxing to chess. And it is pervasive, from little league baseball to colleges to the professional leagues to the Olympics. And even to the special Olympics.

SPORTS CHEATS, FRAUDS AND CON ARTISTS takes the audience on the trail of cheaters from ancient times to today, from baseball to Indy car racing to the card game of bridge.

Many will recognize the stories from headlines in the sports pages or on ESPN. Other stories will surprise the audience from the audacity of the methods used to win at all costs. But above all they will be entertained.
