  • With increased prize money, sponsorship deals and fame at stake, doping has become an ever-present thorn in the side of modern sport.

    Whether by accident (!) or just to cheat, athletes in almost every professional sport have been caught and subsequently reprimanded by the authorities.

    Many of the guilty sportsmen and women are unheard of (hence the need to improve their performance illegally) and their suspensions largely go unnoticed. However our friends at www.ticketsmove.com have created this infographic that charts the downfalls of some of sport’s biggest stars, at the peak of their careers.
