Ambulances were called out to the headquarters of one of Europe's largest sports retailers 76 times in two years, a 麻豆官网首页入口 Inside Out investigation has discovered.

Many of the calls, for workers at Sports Direct's complex聽in Derbyshire, were for "life-threatening" illnesses.

Former workers said some staff were "too scared" to take sick leave because they feared losing their jobs.

Sports Direct said it aimed to provide safe working conditions for all.
