You can't strip stats from the books because it will create continuity problems and holes in the way we look at accomplishments.   Stats are the major way we record baseball history.. The problem with steroids and other devices used to create an advantage over your opponent, it makes the honorable player suspect. Everyone who is good must be cheating.  Baseball should follow the I.O.C.'s logic and penalize for perception not proving beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Sports are not the legal system and need to show that they are beyond reproach and cheating.  It should fall to the individual player to know what medication he/she is taking and realize that it is their career and reputation at stake every time they use something on themselves internally or externally.

How about you do your own homework?  This question totally reeks of an essay assignment you were given at school.  Wouldn't you rather EARN a decent grade then have one given to you?  If you keep cheating in life, you might get a good grade or a job, but you won't have the practical knowledge to apply what you've learned when it comes to it.

That's what I've been saying for years.  When kids try mary jane for the first time they find out that their parents and their school is full of crap and that it isn't as bad as they were told.  So, of course they suspect they are being lied to about other things as well.  All the war on drugs does is breed mistrust among the younger generation.  It has had no appreciable effect on drug use whatsoever.

According to an interview the substance he tested positive for was in some medication (I think, or perhaps it was a sports or health suppliment) that he got while in the States. In Argentina that medication or suppliment doesn't actually contain that ingredient, but in the America it does and he didn't know that. He also says that if he'd wanted to cheat he would have taken something a lot better because there were far better substances available if that is what he intented to do. I believe him and besides which he didn't need to cheat! He was a great player who made a mistake. Well, two- not checking what he was taking and taking cocaine (which certainly doesn't do anything for your game.)

Point to how much cheating there is... look for stats on accademic dishonesty.  Why would people cheat if knowledge, as opposed to marks, was the goal?

The effects of both alcohol and Marijuana are so strikingly similar, that I'm shocked the government hasn't legalized it yet. It's not physically addictive either, as opposed to the other illegal drugs.

Academic knowledge is the basis on which future prosperity, and financial security has been determined. As a consequence, students feel inclined to perform above average in school. Now, as students perform less and less, they sink to obtain good grades by cheating. This method to acquire the desired grades will only harm the student, instead of the imagined result. Prompted by a child’s inability to perform basic tasks throughout his education , academic cheating spawns numerous negative consequences. \nResulting from the numerous pressures of high school, academic cheating places a large amount of stress on the minds of American teens. To begin with, low self-esteem and a lack of morals prompt a student to cheat to maintain an acceptable grade. When students pick on a less academically inclined student, the unfortunate student will loose confidence in himself and resort to cheating, cheating that will begin a downward spiral of negative effects. Furthermore, if failing grades persist and plague the student, one will cheat to halt the continuation of unacceptable grades. Secondly, loving parental pressure will generate the need to cheat in school. For example, a child, who is a good student, will cheat, to prove to their parents that they are smart, and that they can achieve their goals throughout their schooling. Additionally, parents want their children to follow in their footsteps in the aspect of the education that they received; therefore, more pressure will be enforced on the children. Lastly, failure to study, due to a lack of motivation, contributes to academic cheating. A student, cheating to make up for their lack of knowledge, will do so because one did not study for a test. In addition, a forgetful student will cheat in order to avoid doing work, which had been previously assigned. Also, when class work is assigned that requires knowledge from a previous lesson, a cheater will again resort to cheating in a futile attempt to raise his grade. \nThe effects of cheating, the majority being negative, hasten an individuals overall progress in life. Cheating, when observed by an adult, greatly influence a college’s perception of the cheater. For example, A College Board’s decision on a cheater’s application will be significantly swayed if the cheating incident is placed on a student’s record. Likewise, a cheater will be under constant observation by their professors, who know they have previously cheated, so that they will not cheat again. Secondly, even if one is not caught cheating, the immature display of self-insufficiency present peers with the impression of a lack of integrity. For instance, a student, performing well in school, will not want to be accused of cheating, therefore he will avoid contact with the cheater as much a possible. In addition, a cheater will become less popular if seen cheating by a peer because cheating is not “cool”. Finally, student’s knowledge of basic information sharply declines if one cheats on a regular basis. Resorting to cheating regularly, a cheater will greatly reduce ones odds of passing assignments. Also, an uneducated student will be unable to participate in class discussions, thus disabling the classes capacity for knowledge. Lastly a cheater will be unable to recall information that was learned during a previous chapter, due to the paltry amount of time spent on the subject. \nGenerated by a child’s lack of basic knowledge, cheating generates numerous unfavorable results. A student, with only good intentions, can be easily influenced by the promise of superior grades while completing so little work. Unfortunately, the final product of such little effort can take a devastating toll on a student’s social life and even his future. The opportunity to work so little and achieve excellent grades is staring all students in the face, however; cheating places a student at great risk for ruining the rest of his life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSearch for more free essays and free

Drugs are just a desperate attempt to escape from your reality. Why not try to improve your reality instead?

No it is not, despite what you may hear and read.  I am a pot smoker, and I have been in a situation where I could not smoke any for two months and I had no problems, other than some messed up dreams. If you let it consume your life, you can get into the rut, but I am an active, working pot smoker. For me, it's like coming home from work and having a glass of wine. I don't think it's something you should do everyday, especially if your a student, it can effect your ability to retain information. I do not believe that it's a "gateway" drug either as I have never done any other drug.

When you cheat on an exam you are cheating yourself.  The reason to not cheat is for your own sake.  Work hard, study, do your best.  If you cheat and get caught you may get 0 on the exam.  If you cheat and don't get caught it will make you believe that cheating is easy and the way to go, but eventually you will get caught and the further along in your education you are when you get caught, the worse the consequences will be.  Show how smart you really are, and don't cheat.
