You will never know how much I truly appreciate your love and support. Thank you for all that you do and for our two children, Joy & Hope.

The results are compared with existing theoretical concepts and previous research associated with the outcomes of corruption. This theory adds to our knowledge of the nature of suffering experienced by student-athletes as a result of corruption a...
