Top 5 Athletes with Criminal Pasts

5. CHRIS BENOIT

Ruby really wanted me to put this guy on here, but she already wrote a whole thing about him, and the WWE is a fake sport anyways.

4. RUSSIAN OLYMPIANS4. RUSSIAN OLYMPIANS

4. RUSSIAN OLYMPIANS

It would be hard to get through this list without mentioning the astronomical number of Russian Olympians who have been implicated in doping scandals and had their medals and titles stripped of them, so I’ve grouped them all up at the top. They would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for having to pee in a cup!

3. TOM BRADY

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was accused of deflating footballs in a game against the Indiana Colts in 2014, when all was said and done, he was handed a four-game suspension in 2016. His tampering and shifty behavior around the whole ordeal is almost as bad as when, while he was getting a frontal massage, he had his son come in and kiss him twice for computer time or something.

2. MANU VATUVEI

Despite Vatuvei’s charges around the importation of methamphetamine, the former NRL player was extended an opportunity by the Warriors to tell his story and help counsel young players.

1. OJ SIMPSON

Of course, The Juice gets number one, one of the greatest running backs of all time, who can forget the legendary touchdown of his acquittal from trial?

Sports Quote of the Week

IS THIS A SPORT?

Ram Raids

Uber-popular in New Zealand and Australia, ram-raiding is a form of burglary that is exactly what it’s name suggests: ram an establishment, raid its contents. While the crime may seem simple, it actually requires a specialised vehicle, immense precision, and the nerve of a teenage boy in a tech fleece. And, after a 400 percent increase in local ram-raids since 2017, new anti-robbery technology has made it harder than ever.

Verdict: So, is ram-raiding a sport? No, asshole, it’s literally a crime.
