Our Stars and their Faults

[steepholm]

Allegations are swirling around the world of tennis that several British players have regularly been offered large amounts of cash to win matches. The shady practice of offering so-called "prize money" has been an open secret in professional tennis for years, but its existence was unknown to British fans until recently.

An anonymous source, known only as "Tim H", has revealed: "They kept offering us more and more money, but I'm proud to say that we all resisted the temptation. Until that bastard Murray broke ranks."

That's the first actual name I've heard! (or read, I mean.)

Before Tim Henman sues me, I should make it clear that British players are not being paid to lose matches. They do it because they can.
