Cheating their way to gold: the Olympics’ biggest con artists

July 27, 2012 in Olympic games

In the lead-up to London, at least 107 athletes failed drug tests and were banned from competing at the games, said World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey on Tuesday. Cheating’s nothing new, so in the spirit of the Games, we award medals to the Olympics’ best swindlers, frauds and fakes.

Anti-Capitalism Throw

Athletes are tested on their ability to throw a concrete block through a McDonald’s window.

Success is achieved over three rounds:

  1. At a distance of 10 metres with a bank of  newspaper photographers causing a distraction with multiple flashes
  2. At a distance of 20 metres with a row of armoured police in between the athlete and the target
  3. At a distance of 40 metres whilst being ‘kettled’ by the police with other participants and passers-by
