The video discusses several instances of athletes cheating in their respective sports. The cases include:
1. Nelson Piquet Jr. (Formula 1): He intentionally crashed his car during the 2008 Spanish Grand Prix to help his teammate, Fernando Alonso, win the race. An investigation revealed that Piquet was ordered to crash by his team's managing director, Flavio Briatore, and the team's director of engineering, Pat Symonds.
2. Marwin Hitz (Soccer): He deliberately damaged the penalty spot on the field during a 2015 match, causing the opposing team's player to slip and miss the penalty kick. Hitz was fined €122 to cover the cost of repairing the pitch.
3. Vincenzo Nibali (Cycling): He was involved in a crash during the 2015 Vuelta a España and received a "sticky bottle" handover from a team car, effectively towing him along and giving him an illegal boost. Nibali was disqualified and fined €200.
4. Sal Alosi (American Football): He tripped an opposing team's player during a 2010 game and was also found to have ordered inactive players to form a human barricade on the sideline, interfering with the opposing team's movement. Alosi was fined $25,000 and suspended without pay for the rest of the season.
5. Bre Tiesi-Manziel (Running): She took part in the 2019 Run Like A Diva half marathon and was accused of cheating after her mile split times revealed she had completed the final 6.7 miles at an impossibly fast pace. An investigation found that she likely only ran the first lap of the two-lap course.
6. Romano Fenati (Motorcycling): He pulled the front brake of an opposing rider's bike during a 2018 race, which could have caused a serious accident. Fenati was disqualified, and his racing license was revoked.
7. Alessandro Andreoli (Cycling): He was caught using a hidden electric motor in his bike during an amateur cycling event in 2017. Andreoli was disqualified from the standings.
The video also mentions the use of thermal cameras to detect cheating in cycling, including a case where Slovenian rider Primož Roglič was accused of using a hidden motor, but the allegations were not proven.
