I see that some athletes go the extra mile to cheat just to win. Maybe they're desperate for the prize or they have other intentions. But it beats the idea of sports, right? What's playing for if we don't fight fairly?Lux G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00557863683608790087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-20721450198849144902015-01-29T14:24:40.879-06:002015-01-29T14:24:40.879-06:00"Who are you cheating?" - exactly! What ..."Who are you cheating?" - exactly! What are they tying to prove by taking advantage in using steroids? As for me, there is pride in winning something if inthe first place you have cheated. You are in fact not proving anything to anyone, neither to yourself.

The problem is that each time we think we have stopped the cheating they find a new way to do it. it is sad.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-51213823764945896092015-01-28T19:29:22.570-06:002015-01-28T19:29:22.570-06:00Hello greetings and good wishes.
Excellent post o...Hello greetings and good wishes.<br /><br />Excellent post on steroids, winning and losing.<br /><br />The competition in all form of sports has become very fierce and sometimes large financial rewards are at stake. There are coaches and sportsmen who want to cheat and win. We are all aware in athletics and boxing many were barred after winning and their medals taken away.. In cricket betting is a common thing and sometimes good players deliberately play badly so that their team loses.<br /><br />In all sports we have honest players and dishonest players. They punishment for dishonesty should be severe otherwise this malpractice will not stop.<br /><br />Best wishesJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-61266745069418124812015-01-28T17:53:54.894-06:002015-01-28T17:53:54.894-06:00I believe it is.
