It is a bad time for Boeing. 

Yesterday, there was - yet again - a deadly crash featuring one of their airplanes. 

In June, the once mighty American plane manufacturer - pleaded guilty to a conspiracy of organized criminal fraud. Their executives were not enforcing a culture of safety and covered up potentially risky work at their factories. 

This conviction was after two earlier crashes that killed hundreds of people,  a high-profile international embarrassment that left two astronauts stranded in space and dozens of safety incidents.

However, some Boeing employees claim they tried to warn senior managers about safety problems. Their lawyer - Brian Knowles - in an exclusive interview with CrimeWaves speaks about the company and one whistleblower’s courageous fight for passenger safety.

It is the biggest and most under-reported story in the history of sport. 

In time for the Paris Olympics, we re-release an exclusive interview with one of the world's best investigators in sports integrity and the appalling crime syndicate that ran international track and field.

For years, there was "a mafia" at the heart of international athletics.   Runners, coaches and officials were coerced, corrupted and forced to pay millions of dollars in bribes.

Events at the Olympics, World Championships, and national contests around the world were arranged. 

The thief?  The head of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the organization that ran all these events, and some of his top officials. 

An exclusive interview with one of the investigators, Martin Dubbey,  who exposed the criminal extortion scheme at the top of the world of sports.

"Not every coach is a pedophile, but every pedophile wants to be a coach."

For the Paris Olympics, a re-issue of an extraordinary interview with the great Nancy Hogshead about the silent plague in sports.

There is rampant sexual, physical and mental abuse of athletes across sports, countries and cultures. 
Very few people speak about it.  They want to pretend that our young people are safe in a glamorous sports world, when the truth is often the opposite.

One person has led the fight to stop this appalling behaviour - Nancy Hogshead.
She is a fighter.   A triple Olympic gold medalist, who has spent her career battling to protect athletes. 
If you are an athlete, know an athlete, or are the parent of an athlete - this is a shocking story.

WARNING: This episode contains references to sexual abuse.

To mark the beginning of the Paris Olympics -  a re-release of our interview with the bravest man in sports - Vitaly Stepanov, the Russian whistleblower who, along with his wife, exposed the dirty secrets at the heart of international sports.

In the ten years, since the Stepanovs came forward with their extraordinary, covert investigation - countless sports officials have been convicted of running a "mafia-like organization", the Russian team has been banned from Olympics and there have been a number of mysterious deaths of other anti-doping officials. 

Meanwhile, Vitaly Stepanov lives in a secret location far away from the sports world.  He has faced harassment, abuse and death threats.  Other whistleblowers have been silenced, Vitaly Stepanov keeps going.

It was a silent, criminal corporation.  
It was worth tens-of-billions of dollars.
They killed and tortured their opponents, without giving any signals or clues to their existence. 
They were the Super-Cartel.  One of the world’s largest drug traffickers and, virtually, no one knew anything about them.  
This is the story of the investigation that brought them down.

It was the greatest case of match-fixing in international sports.  

A group of criminals fixed soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis and many other sports.   They corrupted national teams, the UEFA Champions League, and games around the world.   They had top officials, referees and players on their payroll.  They threatened, extorted and murdered their way through sports.

At the heart of the investigation against them was one dedicated, obsessive cop.   A man who would stop at nothing to bring down. 

This is his story.

You're in prison. 
The system has convicted you of murder. 
 You're serving a lifetime in prison. 
But you're innocent. You didn't kill anyone.  

So who are you going to call? 

It's no use phoning a lawyer. They didn't work too well at your trial.
It's no use phoning a politician. Those guys campaign on locking up murderers. 
Your family cannot help.
Your friends?  Very few actually stayed with you. 

There is one small organization without much money or resources - the Innocence Project.  They are your last hope.

**

This week on Crimewaves, the true story of an extraordinary fight to free an innocent man and overturn a shocking injustice.
