The Lords of the Rings by Vyv Simson

This book details how the Corinthian ideals of the Olympic Games have been destroyed by corruption, greed, politics and turning a bureaucratic blind eye to drugs. In collaboration with Patrick Nally, an important name in sports sponsorship, the authors expose the dubious Olympics organization - the way the International Olympics Committee functions, the way millions are raised ans spent, the lifestyles of the senior sports administrators - in short, the way the face of sport has been changed over the last few decades, fuelled by huge sums of money from some of the world's best-known companies.
