About this product

Product Information

What happened at Essendon, what happened at Cronulla, is only part of the story. From the basement office of a suburban football club to the seedy corners of Peptide Alley to the polished corridors of Parliament House, The Straight Dope is an inside account of the politics, greed and personal feuds which fuelled an extraordinary saga. Clubs and coaches determined to win, a sports scientist who doesn't play by the rules, a generation of footballers held hostage by scandal and injected with who knows what, sport administrators hell bent on control, an anti-doping authority out of its depth, an unpopular government that just wants it to end for two tumultuous seasons this was the biggest game in Australia.

  • Very well written

    I bought this book for my husband and he loved it. Could not put it down. He is not a big reader so for him to get into this book it must be good! He said it was very good read and really got down to the nitty gritty of what happened. It should never have happened in the first place but if you want to find out more you will have to buy the book!
