A basketball journalist in Spain recognises three of the players in the gold-medal-winning intellectual disability basketball team - and they are not disabled. He has even played on the same team as one of them.

The denials continue until another of the players - who turns out to have been a journalist - publishes his own article exposing the fraud.
