Sport should be all about fair play. But is it? What do some
famous sports celebrities, like Diego Maradona, Lance
Armstrong, and Boris Onischenko have in common?
Well, they have all played their own dishonest roles during
large, international sporting events. Diego
Maradona,an Argentinian player, scored a goal using his
hand during the 1986 World Cup. Lance Armstrong lost all
of his seven Tour de France medals after a scandal about
using illegal drugs. And Boris Onischenko, who wanted to be
sure of winning the gold medal during the 1976 Olympic
Games, changed his fencing equipment so that he was
scoring points without actually hitting his opponent. He was
caught and banned from the sport.
Unfair behaviour is, unfortunately, becoming more and more
common in sport. It may come in the form of using illegal
equipment or steroids, breaking international rules, or it
might even involve dishonest referees. Unfortunately for
millions of football fans, their beloved discipline is at the top
of the list, with lots of examples of ‘unfair play’ during
almost every game.
1 All of the three sports celebrities mentioned in the text
a behaved unfairly during different sports events.
b were banned from sport because of cheating.
c tried to cheat in the same way.
2 The text was written to  4 Koleżanka proponuje pójście na zawody sportowe.
a present the achievements of some famous sportspeople.
b give some examples of famous cheats in international
sport.
c provide information about the history of some sporting
events.

Hi,
I’m a big fan of football and I support the local football team
in my city. Last weekend, I went to the stadium with my
friends to watch the match live. I don’t go to see matches as
often now as I used to, so I was really looking forward
to the game. When we arrived at the stadium, the atmosphere
was great and we were really enjoying ourselves. But from
the start of the match, the dirty play was really awful.
The players from both teams were quite brutal, and three
of them got red cards from the referee. Worse than that,
one of the players scored a goal with his hand.
Everybody at the stadium could see this, but the referee still
gave the goal. After that, I was really disappointed, not with
the score (our team lost the game) but with the fact that
the match had very little to do with real sport. I mean, it’s
OK if you want to win, but isn’t it more important to be a fair
competitor? Unfortunately, as such things happen at big
international events, local sports competitions won’t be free
from cheating too.
3 The author of the blog post mostly describes why
a he doesn’t usually like going to football matches.
b the players behaved badly during the match.
c he didn’t enjoy the football match.
4 The author of the blog post says that the football match he
went to see
a was a big international event.
b had little in common with the real idea of sport.
c was mostly about fair competition.
5 Both texts are about
a local sporting events.
b famous sportspeople who cheat.
c dishonest behaviour in sport.
