ShortHand: The Spanish Paralympic Scandal

Sneaky and occasionally toxic cheating is nothing new in the world of sport. However, the lies and corruption behind Fernando Martin Vicente’s intellectually disabled Spanish Basketball team shook the sporting world to its core. Because, of the twelve players that left for the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games and brought home the gold – only two were actually disabled. 

How and why did anyone agree to take part in such a disgraceful fraud? You’ll have to listen to find out.
