personally I think cheating in sports is awesome. it adds a new dynamic of play beyond just athleticism and strategy. it's sort of like an extra layer of meta strategy -- finding ways to get any extra edge that you can get in a game that is all about statistics, while competing against the refs or umpires whose job it is to "catch" you.

though to be honest it becomes a lot less fun when the cheating becomes sanctioned by the league and they have an interest in protecting certain teams. it's much better when the umpires or refs serve as a third neutral faction that both teams have to try and work around.
