However, there was another, less well-known controversy involving the gold-medal basketball game between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the world’s two superpowers at the time. What happened? Join author, David Sweet, as he recounts corruption from the head of basketball, illegal calls by a referee, and the legacy of the American players who refuse to accept their medals to this day.
