My husband, an 8th grade PE teacher & coach, says:
"Cheaters never win & >> winners never cheat,"
Alas, that is
a nice homily, but in reality cheaters often do win. Honest folks see such
wins as hollow and meaningless, but cheaters don't see it that way.

I don't know about that, Joe. I know a rider
who cheated, possibly on every ride this person ever rode. I wouldn't have been
able to prove it, but I know it happened. But, they only rode about 4 rides
before the horse fell apart and they have not been seen since. That is a
big loss. For the horse.
My daughter played soccer and girls soccer
can get ugly. They played a team that cheated so blatantly and the parents
encouraged it!!! Well, they won the game, but they lost any respect the club may
have had for them. Again, a big loss.
So a cheater may win for the moment, but will
lose respect forever.
