The ten most controversial bosses in sport

This week Flavio Briatore, the former Renault team principal, was banned for life from Formula One by the Motor Sport Council for his involvement in a race-fixing scandal. The flamboyant Italian millionaire, known for a string of glamourous girlfriends and an extravagent lifestyle, is also a co-owner of QPR.

In the light of the recent Briatore episode, we look at ten of the most controversial owners/bosses of teams and sporting institutions around the world.
