Hansie Cronje: In what is undoubtedly the most famous case of its kind, South African captain Hansie Cronje was given a lifetime ban from playing or coaching cricket after admitting he had received a sum of money from a London bookmaker to 'forecast results'. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/nov/hansie-cronje.jpg" border="5" /> It emerged that he offered players, such as Herschelle Gibbs, money to perform poorly.
