The infamous Big Bill Tilden was one. when serving as a high-priced Tennis instructor he was charged and convicted of child molestation-and did time in jail, the incident effectively ending his career. this happened around, if i recall the statistics right, about l95l . It was a major sports scandal quite different than say the Black Sox or Denny Mclain and Pete Rose and gambling violations!
