| 3 of 14 It's perhaps the most notorious cheating episode in the history of sports. In the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup, Argentine legend Diego Maradona scored a goal with his hand. The referees didn't see it, despite the English team's protests, and the goal stood. Argentina went on to win the game 2-1 on its way to claiming the World Cup. It would be 14 years until Maradona admitted he was the one who punched the ball, and not, as he called it, "the Hand of God." Photo: Leo Mason/SIPA/SI | |||||||||||||||||
