Boycotts and Broken Dreams: The Story of the 1986 Commonwealth Gamespublished at 10:37 British Summer Time 17 July 2014
Tonight, at 10.35pm, a documentary about one of the most fascinating periods of Commonwealth Games history will be shown on BBC One Scotland.
Boycotts and Broken Dreams: The Story of the 1986 Commonwealth Games reveals the sporting triumphs from athletes who are now household names - Steve Cram, Daley Thompson, Tessa Sanderson and Scotland's own Liz McColgan, winner of the 10,000m gold medal.
But these were Games when sport locked horns with politics over the issue of sanctions against the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa.
Learn the stories of some of the athletes who were affected by the 1986 Games and discover the role of controversial media tycoon Robert Maxwell and a suspected Japanese war criminal.
