The book explores the transformation of Australian sport throughout the 20th Century, contrasting the innocence and sportsmanship of earlier times with today's competitive, profit-driven landscape. It reflects on iconic moments, such as John Landy's act of sportsmanship, questioning whether modern athletes would be celebrated or criticized for similar actions. Through a critical lens, Roy Masters examines the impact of commercialization, rivalries, and performance-enhancing drugs, urging readers to reconsider the values and integrity of contemporary sports.
