So, Joost is releasing a book and everyone’s upset. I don’t get it? I also don’t get why SuperSport gave him the boot? Sure, he cocked up. (Pun intended.) Sure, he’s now capitalising on it.

So, apparently cheating is still rife in the sporting world. Well that’s according to Victor Conte. He’s the guy who co-developed a fancy steroid and then fed it to pro baseballers in tight peddle-pushers and motorcycle helmets that only covered one ear. It was quite ingenious really.
