Review of the Sporting Year

BBC Radio 2
Sat 24th Dec 1988, 18:00 on BBC Radio 2
'Sport without morality is no sport at all.'
The problem of drug abuse cast a shadow over the Olympics, but how much did it damage the credibility of sport in general and the Games in particular?
On the domestic front, Britain's golfers proved themselves to be among the best in the world, while for British footballers and cricketers it was nearly all gloom and doom. And how will posterity assess Mike Tyson's year, as spectacular out oftheringasinit?
Ian Darke looks back over
12 months that were never short of incident or controversy. Producer JOANNE WATSON
