Huan72 687 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 The problem is the vast amount of money in sport now, money can corrupt, it depends why the sportsman's in the game. If there in it to be the very best at what they do and take pride themselves they will not cheat. There are some truly amazing athletes out there, pushing there bodies to the limit, day in and day out who know that they will never be the best but they do it to be the best they can be, they respect themselves and their sport.......................that's the sort of sportsman I respect. I can not abide highly paid sportsman that cheat, have no self discipline, get pissed and cause trouble like a common thug............they may be good at their sport but deserve no ones respect!.........................IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,062 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Gnash what about a journey man?,,, I know they play an important role in boxing,,,but isn't that a similar thing? Tomo i like you....you seem a good chap...............but that has to be the single most stupid thing you,ve ever said Are you saying then that a journeyman fighter is not trying to win ?.....I was a journeyman fighter mate and i can tell you hand on heart i tried every minute of every round to win....i just wasnt always good enough...............To be good enough to win,but try not to.....thats a crime in my opinion !

stabba 10,745 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 They cheat simply to earn money..Either by betting against themselves or a payday from the winning side/corner. So be it snooker horse racing boxing football cricket..its all about the money. Nobody wants to be a loser for nothing do they. Every sport has corruption at some level and every sport will continue to do so. Nature of the beast im afraid. Likes been said...Being able to bet on just about every permatation of a game/match/race makes the act of cheating that much simpler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,062 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 what about performance enhancing drugs? sport has to be rife with it. Cheating to win any man with any kind of competetive edge can half understand...........doesnt make it ok,but the desire to be the best can lead to these things.........the desire to lose and therefore cheat to lose is absolutely unforgiveable in my opinion.

stabba 10,745 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Cheating to win is just as dispicable as cheating to lose ...cheating is cheating however you look at it..Take Ben Johnson for example..smashed world records and alsorts to win major honours...came out the man cheated...disgusting...the other 7 trained their balls out to win..so along comes Ben full of jungle juice and makes a mockery of the other 7..understable? is it hell's like. Natural talent is natural talent...if you aint got what it takes..accept it and strive for your best...dont stick shit in your body for a false win . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,062 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If you put that question to 100 competetive sportsman......whats worse cheating to win or cheating to lose........i would guarentee 90% would say cheating to lose is absolutely unforgiveable....cheating to win is unnacceptable......but the highly competetive nature of professional sportsman means it can be understood more than cheating to lose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
