I'm not a big sports fan, especially when it comes to football. It bugs me to see professionals in a sport trying to cheat all the way down the field with no consequences. Even when caught it's usually after the fact and the sport just says "oh well, it's too late now".
That's one of the reasons I love Formula 1 racing. There are players and teams who try to cheat on occasion, but when they are caught there are consequences and they affect their season even after the fact. It keeps most of the players honest to know they could pay for their actions down the road.
This week was a good example of that when the fourth place finisher was disqualified after the race for providing false information about an illegal pass by an opponent that moved him to into 3rd place.
It would be nice to see other sports take honesty and integrity more seriously.
Here is the full story of what happened:

true though i am not into racing. I agree with wanting the people to be responsible. Instead of getting away with the wrong.
I don't know much about F1. I was big into the dirt track racing scene a while back and I had someone in the family who had a car. From my limited experience with racing, everyone is cheating. I was always amazed at the ways they would come up with trying to get an extra advantage on the rest of the field. Every thing from running illegal cams, to out right illegal motors. Of course this was a few years back and that scene was pretty wild back then. The last I heard they were cracking down on them as the prize money involved is much higher now.
I'm with ya though on the need for accountability in "all" sports.
