With the World Cup and Olympics coming to Brazil, match fixing scandals spanning the globe, widespread doping, and plenty of fraud and waste in stadium contracting, there’s no shortage of hard-hitting stories to do on the sports industry. Here are three top experts on digging into the business and corruption of sports. If you haven't heard the irrepressible Andrew Jennings, now's the time to hear him go after game-fixers and bribe-takers around the world. Rob Rose, of the Sunday Times in Johannesburg, will show how the South African press dealt with scandals involving the World Cup and Olympics. And Lucio de Castro will talk about how Brazil's own media is dealing with the seamy underside of sports.
