"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."- George Mitchell

Cheating is not a good thing to do. If you cheat then the guilt will lie deep inside of you. Using something for an advantage is considered cheating. Anything that will help you do better than you usually do is considered cheating. A cheater just ruins the sport and makes it hard for other teams to do good because there is a cheater. For example, If you cheat on a test then it'll be like lying to yourself. Cheaters are people who ruin the game and reputation. The guilt is something they'll have until they can come clean and say what they did. It's true when there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. It matters in best to not cheat.
