It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1.

Or so everyone believes. In fact, he is an ex-petty criminal with a past that he has spent decades keeping secret. Until now - An unidentified young woman of Middle Eastern origin has been found murdered on the outskirts of Rook's home town. Billy Barber a violent football hooligan and white supremacist who knows Rook from old is accused of her murder. Barber insists that Rook must defend him. If Rook refuses, Barber will expose him, bringing crashing to the ground the life and career that Rook has spent his life building. The truth is there for the finding. But at what cost?
