Could even "fall baseball," which determines the postseason champion beyond the regular season, have become prey for black money? A match-fixing scandal involving a top-tier MLB closer has shaken the baseball world as specific indictment details were revealed.

As the Korean Nam Ja-nong-gu (CEO) team defeated host nation Japan to claim the Asian Games title for the first time in 12 years, an absurd 'bus no-show' incident on the day of the final sparked controversy even among locals in Japan. The Korean Nam Ja-nong-gu (CEO) team, led by coach Nicholas Mazulis (Latvia), defeated Japan 67-57 in the men's basketball final at the Aichi International Arena in Nagoya, Japan, on the 20th during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games to secure the gold medal.
