Sports gambling is big business and what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there. There has always been a dark side going back to the BlackSox scandal of 1919 which also invaded college basketball in the early 1950s wherein gamblers could mingle with the athletes. And now we read of attempted bribes of Danish badminton players to fix matches. Is nothing sacred? What could be purer than that little feathered "shuttlecock" soaring over the net. The conspirators approached the players via Facebook where privacy is unheard of. Alas!
