What We Discuss with Chris Dalby:

Human trafficking is rampant in modern sports: Thousands of young athletes, particularly from Africa, are lured to Europe with false promises of professional contracts, only to end up exploited in "soccer prison camps" while families go into debt.
An illegal sports betting empire thrives: A $1.7 trillion annual industry controlled by organized crime syndicates, primarily Asian groups operating from countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand through sophisticated networks.
