Watch the 1966 world cup final or any football match from 1980's going back, they should send off any player that shows dissent or ungentlemanly behaviour.

I seem to recall we knighted a sailor who's conduct can at best be called dubious, assault on a PR rib and definite signs of team tactics in the last medal race I bothered to watch..

His actions in the final Laser race in 2000 were perfectly reasonable and within the spirit as well as the letter of the rules (and, IIRC Schidt, said he would have done the same thing). The incident in the Finn worlds in 2011 was unacceptable (as he acknowldged afterwards) but was not a calculated attempt to influence the results.
My beef is with blatant cheating, i.e. deliberate and calculated attempts to affect results by actions clearly outside the letter and spirit of the rules of the sport in question.

If you win, you win, right? After all, no-one remembers a loser, sporting or otherwise.
I would like to point out that the internet can be used to put viewpoints that may not absolutely tally with real life opinions... |
