I understand your comment here but if you think there can't ever be another Black Sox type scandal - then that is being very naive. Especially with gambling rampantly growing throughout society. What if the Cincinnati Reds would have gotten into the World Series with gambling addict Pete Rose as the manager?
The best way to prevent another scandal is to have mandatory polygraph testing. And of course the testing probably will never occur until after a major gambling scandal happens. But the sports league that gets hit with a fixed World Series, fixed Super Bowl, etc., will then definitely institute mandatory polygraph testing. It's a shame that such a simple, effective measure such as this can't be put in place beforehand.
