Athletics.

Fred Lorz, from New York, won the marathon at the St Louis Olympic Games in 1904. He finished the race in three hours 13 minutes.

After the race Fred was waiting to get his medal and the spectators were cheering him loudly. Alice Roosevelt, the daughter of the Us president, was in the crowd, and some journalists took a photo of Fred with her. But then suddenly somebody started shouting “cheat” and soon everybody was shouting the same thing. It was true. Fred had travelled 18 of 42 kilometres in a friend`s car! Fred didn`t win and he was banned from athletics.

Fencing.

Boris Onishenko, an army officer from the Soviet Union, was competing against Jim Fox from Britain in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Boris was winning and the electronic scoreboard was showing “hit” after ”hit” for him. Jim Fox protested to the referee. Fox said that Boris was scoring without hitting him. Olympic officials examined Boris`s sword and they made a shocking discovery. Boris had changed the electronic part of his sword. He could turn on the “hit” light on the scoreboard even when he hadn`t hit Fox. Boris went home, in disgrace, the next day. The British newspapers called him “Dishonishenko”.
