The greatest drugs scandal in Australian sport goes well beyond who took what. What happened at Essendon, what happened at…
Cronulla, is only part of the story. From the basement office of a suburban football club to the seedy corners of Peptide Alley to the polished corridors of Parliament House, The Straight Dope is an inside account of the politics, greed and personal feuds which fuelled an extraordinary saga. Clubs and coaches determined to win, a sports scientist who doesn't play by the rules, a generation of footballers injected with who knows what, sport administrators hell bent on control, an anti-doping authority out of its depth, an unpopular government that just wants it to end ... for three years until the final, crushing judgement handed down by an international tribunal, this was the biggest game in Australia.By Henry Lawson. 1984

medals and medals at four Olympics. She overcame a broken neck to win silver at the 2008 Beijing Games. She is an inspiration not just because of her sporting achievements, but for way she answered the potentially debilitating question faced by all retiring athletes: What happens now? Anna confronted personal crises, including the death of her coach from motor neurone disease and a marriage breakup, and learned plenty as she first stumbled but now strides down a bright path. She has a new career, is happy in her personal life and is the mother of a baby daughter. Her sporting life is only part of this story. Her recent wins have added a new dimension to what has been a remarkable life.By Tilly Aston. 1901

the stories from the background, focusing on the people behind the scenes rather than the well documented racing results.

Golf participation is at an all-time high, with 37.9 million active players in the U.S. alone. Here's an ingenious way…
for weekend players to improve their game by learning from the pros. For example, though you may never drive the ball as far as Tiger Woods, you're sure to increase your distance if you learn to think like he does at the tee. Each section is devoted to one aspect of the game and built around a player famous for his or her mastery of that area: Tiger for driving, Greg Norman for hitting a draw, Phil Mickelson for making the perfect flop shot, and so on. More than 50 great players provide inspiring examples to help any golfer play better.By Konrad Marshall. 2019

how the club recovered from its disappointment of 2018. With unprecedented access to club officials, players and coaches, author Konrad Marshall takes the reader inside the rooms at the key moments of the campaign, chronicling the Tigers' journey to AFL football's Holy Grail. This is not just a book of wins and losses, it's the story of a professional football club and how it operates at every level: from the fitness staff, to the coaching panel, the players, and the Board. The Richmond Football Club has continued to change enormously following the 2017 triumph, its first Premiership since 1980, and Marshall explains in detail the enormous amount of work and thought that has gone into every decision made--on and off the field.By Gideon Haigh. 2004

To cricket's recent torments - match-fixing, throwing, sledging, politics - he brings fresh insights and an irreverent wit.By Lincoln Hall. 1985

encouraged to find strength in their voices and what is important to them. maar bidi is a journey into what it is to be young, a person of colour and a minority in divergent and conflicting worlds.
