Is cheating something that can be permanently avoided in sports?

Do you feel that cheating should come with a fixed punishment within the sport? 

Should individuals and teams who cheat be stripped of their titles?]]> 2021-06-02 13:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579513070 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579533545 Whether you cheat as an individual or as a team, it is an issue that will never be solved throughout sports. This issue has much significance because it affects the entire world. Sports are something that we as a society are able to come together to bond over. When athletes/teams ruin their name it is something that has an impact on more than just them. Other teams, other sports, fans, and children all over have to face the consequences of teams and athletes who cheat.]]> 2021-06-02 13:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579533545 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579650521 Cheating in sports goes back centuries. J Weston. Phippen said in a 2016 Atlantic Article that "cheating, like competition, is human nature" it can be traced back to ancient Greece and the Olympics.

Cheating has only become easier on the conscious and more frequent since these times. After reviewing the Houston Astro's sign stealing scandal it was clear that cheating is bigger than players, teams, coaches, leagues, and the industry.

In ancient Greece they used to build statues of cheaters and place them in front of the olympic stadium to humiliate them, or they would permanently ban them from competing ever again. Compared to today, the Astro's punishment was a slap on the wrist with a five million dollar fine and a few docked draft picks even though it was suspected they were sign stealing for years.]]> 2021-06-02 14:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579650521 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579690929 From research and a personal perspective, I don't believe cheating is an issue that can ever be solved. People, especially athletes are addicted to winning and the fame that comes with it, so they will do what they need to in order to continue chasing that high. 

Personally, my main recommendation to begin to solve this issue is to have a fixed punishment, if you are caught cheating it is not something that should be taken lightly. If it is a team approach you should be suspended the next season. If it is a singular player cheating, they should receive a significant suspension or not be allowed back at all depending on severity. 

I also believe any title or reward received during the time of suspected or proved cheating should be immediately revoked. ]]> 2021-06-02 14:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579690929 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579726831 Aurora University's article on the psychological reasons behind why athletes cheat.]]> 2021-06-02 14:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579726831 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579739337 The reasons behind why athletes use performance enhancing drugs and why it will never end]]> 2021-06-02 14:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579739337 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579747324 Adam Hartung's theory on why cheating is inevitable and can never be stopped]]> 2021-06-02 14:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1579747324 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1585674754 2021-06-04 16:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1585674754 kabillings1 https://padlet.com/kabillings1/katrinapadlet/wish/1585757996 We've all witnessed or heard of cheating scandals at some point in our lives.
