"This is no run-of-the-mill piece of skulduggery"

I continue my mild obsession with cheating and whistle-blowing in sport, in particular what has happened in the Benetton case. Journalist Simon Barnes (also author of The Meaning of Sport) this morning wrote what might almost be deemed to be an obituary for modern sport:

The ethics and morals aside, from a managerial perspective I am interested to know what the anatomy of the 'spingate' scandal was. In other words, how did we get from someone somewhere deciding that the best way to win an F1 race would be to ask a driver to deliberately crash his/her car (which as Barnes points out, is not like a Harlequins player popping a blood capsule inside his cheek - people get killed racing cars N.B. I wonder what Massa thinks about the matter?) to Piquet clambering from the wreck of his car in Singapore? Whose idea was it? Why did they have this idea? When did they have the idea? How did they decide to implement/communicate this idea? Who was involved? Why did they get involved? How was the whole thing organised? Did people sit in a room and talk about it? Did they make it up as they went along? Did they consider what the consequences might be e.g. drivers crashing and getting hurt; what might happen if someone noticed something strange? Did anyone in the team talk about what happened afterwards? When the team decided to (rightly or wrongly) sack Piquet, did nobody given any thought to the fact that disgruntled former employees hardly ever walk quietly away? And when Piquet started talking, how did the Benetton team respond? When was it decided that Briatore would take the fall? Was he responsible, complicit, or was it just because it was 'on his watch'? Piquet blew one whistle, will any other Benetton employees now blow another whistle: a) to provide insight into the anatomy of the scandal; and b) to ensure that that this and other teams engage in such stupidity again? Or was the whole thing just complete and utter arrogance on the part of the Benetton team? As someone with an interest in business and management, I could go on. Just one final question: will we ever really know what went on in and around the 2008 Singapore GP beyond a muffled exchange on a team car radio?
