Brass Tacks on Sport
Sport has become much more than just sport. Often it is the stories behind a sport which attract more attention than the event itself. For the next six weeks David Taylor and Kathy Tayler look beyond the results and the razzmatazz and explore some of the major issues which now affect sport.
Among this week's reports - the increasing pressures faced by sports officials:
On the Line reports on the soccer referees who are leaving the game because of abuse and physical attacks.
Also, the hidden costs behind Britain's bid to stage the Olympic Games.
