Swimming, you go on a team bender with stilnox, you get a fine and good behaviour clause.

Cricket, you plan to rough up the ball with some sandpaper to accelerate a condition that would happen naturally. 12 months out, let alone millions lost in salary and earnings.

Soccer, you feign a trip to get a penalty. Cheating and you get rewarded.

Totally agree!
