This is not uncommon. Many games and sports exist people who resort to underhand means to achieve the desired results. Let's take a look at sports. From history, sportsmen have been caught using drugs to boost their performance. These are often stimulants or muscle building drugs which help to improve the physical performance of the sportsman in a short span of time. As a result, they gain an unfair advantage over their peers. Cheating? Definitely. Nowadays, they even feed drugs to animals so that they can perform at their peak. Horses are an excellent example. Forget the fact that they use these elegant animals for a sport such as horse-racing, by feeding drugs to the horses, they are effectively forcibly taking life away from them. I really feel for the horses. On the topic of drugs, there are also drugs which can lead to deterioration of the physical performance of the sportsman. Normally, these are used on the enemies so that even if the playing field was fair, there will still be an unfair advantage. People forget that this short-term benefits will come back and haunt them in the long run. Drugs harm the body and that is an undisputable fact. By causing the rapid growth of muscles early on, the deterioration of these muscles will also take double quick time. A shorter lifespan is almost a given. So why take the risk just to enjoy a moment of 'glory'?

Another form of cheating which is common is bribery. Bribing the officials or the opposing players is a sure way of fixing the results of matches. By dangling a carrot so large that it become irresistable, the ugly side of humanity emerges in its full gory. It can happen and even though, like doping, many organiations have become watchdogs for all these vices, nobody can be vigilant 24 hours a day. Is the spirit of the sport worth so little?

Now we come to games. People always try to find a way to win using any means possible, Unfortunately, some people resort to illegal ways of achieving these. Games come with their own set of rules to follow yet people choose to break them as if they were there to be broken. With so little respect for the game, they really should just quit playing if they can't play within the rules.

That's all I have to say for today. Cheaters are people I really hate and will not hesitate to condemn at every given opportunity. Till next time, stay tune to The Beginnings of Time.
