Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

Cheating: Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."

What this quote by George Mitchell means to me is that many people believe that being satisfied for a short term, guarantees you will be on the long term. Overall, we must never cheat because in a way we are cheating ourselves on sports, school, or in life in general, and these are habits we want to prevent. Cheating is down right unacceptable, but when it comes to sports, there is nothing worse than a cheater. It is way better to lose or win knowing you played fair, and were true not only to the sport, but to yourself, your teammates/team and to your competitors.
