I recently read (and reviewed) Bobby Fischer: World Champion for Political Reasons?. It raises the question of whether the famous 1972 chess championship was fixed. The concept was interesting, the book itself less so. But it got me thinking: any recommendations for books about sports or game conspiracies?

Well there's the big one "Eight Men Out" about the Black Sox scandal of 1918. This came out in the early 60's.

"Game of Shadows" is about Barry Bonds, BALCO and the steroid scandal.

I took a look but there don't seem to be any books on the college basketball point shaving scandals of the late 40s and early 50s. You can read about it on the 'net tho.
