Not really a surprise. It would be scary to know how much of this type of stuff goes on in soccer, hockey, football and baseball.
Huh? To me, the book sounds like a ref who's busted, and now just trying to make a quick buck by taking his observations to another level and exaggerating those observations. Why didn't he tell the prosecutors in at the time? Why bring it out through a book? To make a quick buck that's why. You're telling me a huge conspiracy like that where hundreds of people are involved, and nobody has come out with it until now through a book...and of all people, it's this guy? This guy has no crediblity whatsoever. Canseco at least had nothing to gain at the time (aside from the dough) and voluntarily went to congress about his doings. Bad calls aside, this Donoghty guy is picking on ref's individual characteristics more than anything.
