Bookroo's summary

Teen sportswriters Stevie and Susan Carol discover a shocking secret: the California Dreams' offensive line failed doping tests, and the owner is hiding it. As the Super Bowl looms, they must navigate a web of deceit to reveal the truth. With millions watching, can they prove the scandal and change the game forever? The stakes are high, and time is running out. Will they succeed, or will the truth remain buried?

From the publisher

The Super Bowl. America’s biggest sports spectacle. Over 95 million fans will be watching. But teen sportswriters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson know that what they’ll be watching is a lie. They know that the entire offensive line of the California Dreams have failed their doping tests. They know the owner is trying to cover up the results. The only thing they don’t know is how to prove it. “Every teen with NFL or ESPN dreams will appreciate Feinstein’s latest sports mystery.” –VOYA
