OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The missing word in blank 1 should describe the condition of the players as professional sport seems to be becoming dirtier day by day. The words after the first blank provide the clue that the players appear to be fending gladiators. The second sentence of the text states that the excitement before events and the language used by journalists also justify the idea stated in the first sentence. Thus, 'vindicate this observation' is apt in blank 2. The part of the sentence after blank 3 suggests that 'king of the arena' best fits in blank 3. Thus, the answer is $\(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{G}\)$.
