How the Sports Industry Is Reeling from Betting Scandals

Episode 8038 | 18m 06s

Two major league baseball players in the U.S. were indicted earlier this month for allegedly rigging pitches during games. It's the latest betting scandal to rock the sports world, and comes on the heels of the FBI's widespread sports betting and money laundering conspiracy arrests. Those implicated in the scandals maintain their innocence. Sports journalist Joon Lee joins the show to discuss.
