Cheating and your conscience.

My Mum is a St Kilda supporter, and went to their last grand final win a year before I was born.

News this arv is that 8 teams are heavily implicated, 1 possible, and they are asking them to come forward.

Have been an Essendon supporter up until the last few years when Greater Western Sydney became my "local" team.

Pope just stepped down, maybe the Saints are in question too !

That sport is filled with dopers.

If one can't be honest with oneself, you aren't worth anything to anybody else.

I know, which would totally shock me as an All Blacks supporter.

I wonder if they will find any in the Super Rugby teams, probably not, but when you hear about it in one area, you question everyone.

What I don't like about the reporting is the blanket statement of "o a whole bunch of people were on the juice." They don't name anyone, just put the entire country in doubt as to who to trust.

University of Toledo had a few basketball players and a football player involved in a point shaving scandal. I know that some have pleaded guilty. Hardly in the news.

I've read that, in Hot Rod magazine (I think). "Creative" interpretation of the rules is the norm in some auto sports, isn't it? Not the same as cheating, but isn't somewhat similar? Trying to get ahead as much as one can. Reminds me of taxes, trying to keep as much as possible.

I don't watch sports. It's nice to see such feats, but these days it's all questionable. Not only that, but not exactly how I want to spend my time (in front of the TV).
