How can an athlete be happy with his/her win if he/she knows it comes only because of illegal assistance? How can anyone be proud who is a cheater? I must be a simpleton, but I wouldn't feel like a winner if I cheated my way over the finish line.
It does remind me of a very funny story. Does anyone remember Rosie Ruiz? She "won" the boston marathon and didn't even look tired or sweaty. So the officials started reviewing the tapes from the check points and surprise surprise, she wasn't there. She took the subway and then jumped into the race 1/2 mile from the finish line. 1/2 mile!!! Geez. It gets even more ridiculous. They then went back to review her excellent time in the earlier New York marathon. Yup, you guessed it, she took the subway there too. Crazy! What is the point?
