In 2009, Premiership rugby player Tom Williams was the subject of one of sport's biggest scandals. He was asked by his leadership team to cheat and felt that there was no other option but to comply. In the fall-out, he was made a scapegoat before eventually revealing all about the poisonous culture at the club.
