The 5 Most Famous & Shocking Sports Scandals of all time..!!

People love sports and for the love of the game, they venerate, worship and look up to Sportsmen. But sometimes (unfortunately), we are left wondering about their life when they expose their dark sides through controversies and scandals which we find very difficult to take in and it leaves a gaping hole in our hearts that makes us hate them. This brings light to the fact that we, the audience, is still oblivious about what goes on in the life of these sportsmen when they are (as some people love to say- off the field) not playing the game! Let’s see some of the most bewildering and shocking sports scandals which became the headlines and stuck onto the newspapers for too long.

1. Oscar Pistorius

The double amputee athlete Oscar Pistorious a.k.a “The Blade Runner” confessed to shooting and killing his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. It was revealed that Reeva was shot on Valentine’s Day (Seriously?? Valentine’s Day??) by four bullets in the athlete’s own home. Pistorious had been called the fastest man with no legs and won three gold medals at IPC athletic world championship in 2011. When he was charged as a suspect, he told the Magistrate court that he unintentionally shot Reeva, thinking that she was an intruder when he shot her through a locked bathroom door (Yeah! That excuse is gonna work!).

2. Tiger Woods

It’s rightly said that Success is hard to handle! In 2009, the famous and top golfer was convicted with a humiliating and disgraceful controversy of sex scandal in 2009. After a bizarre accident, Woods was alleged to having sexual relationship with over a dozen women. The golfer admitted to perfidy which ended his marriage with wife Elin Nordegren and was followed by a brief break from sports (What went wrong Tiger? Ok I don’t wanna know).
