Book Description
Sports fans around the world thrill to the intense competition of their favorite athletes—driven individuals pushing themselves to the absolute limit. As such, sports represent a universally appealing celebration of the human spirit. However, the exciting spectacle of professional sports often overshadows the fact that "a fair competition environment" is typically an ideal rather than a reality.
