It's safe to say there was a sense of surprise when Sepp Blatter announced on Tuesday that he was standing down. Even the news conference itself was unexpected, as the lack of journalists in attendance showed.
But where does Blatter's exit rank among sport's most shocking stories?
It is bigger than Ben Johnson's failed drugs test in Seoul in 1988? Smaller than the police chasing former NFL star OJ Simpson all over Los Angeles in 1994?

England lost out to Russia in the bidding for the 2018 World Cup.
Simon Johnson, who led England's bid, told BBC 5 live: "I want the full facts around the bidding to be known and published. I want there to be openness and transparency.
"If everybody won it because of a fair fight and everything was fair and objective and transparent, then good.
"If it was found there was improper behaviour in any way by any of the winning bidders, then Fifa must have a look at whether they should re-open the process."
Johnson said he still thinks the 2018 tournament will go ahead in Russia.
