Is there a double standard when it comes to cheating?

Steroids are a major part of America's success on the sporting stage. As is concrete to Mexicans. As is corrupt judges to Germany.

This is one of the funniest post of the day, I cant help but laugh

Stop,just stop...margarto just got caught cheating not shane...stop trying to justify what he did..shanes been to court took a lie detector test...its margo's turn to sweat

[Sin City]

The Balco scandal has gotten a lot of ink. No way Mosley's getting a pass. He's most likely a cheater and him claiming to take the drugs unknowingingly is a pathetic excuse. But then again most fighters likely takes EPO and I bet that all fighters on boxings seniors tour take HGH to remain competitive. Just sayin'.

he was cleared via lie detector..

How the **** am I justifying?
Where does anything in my thread tries to justify what Margarito did?
I'm just trying to make comparisons on two forms of cheating and how one is more accepted in the media's eyes.
So, think before you post!!!

I don’t buy into court circus. Regardless of the fact, cheating is cheating. I am interested to see how Marg’s case comes about. Since you have an official looking over a trainer/fighters being hand wrapped.

Due to the recent controversy of Margarito wearing plaster wraps, all of his fights have come into question. However, Mosley has also been caught cheating with illegal substances and yet I haven't seen anything in the media that calls into question his previous fights before the DLH incident.
So, does the media have a double standard if a fighter is very well liked like the case of Sugar Shane?

He might have started using ROIDS later in his career to bulk up.

Speaking of cheating, listen to this...



One of the guys talks about the excessive holding by Mosley.

What is next for Mosley and Margarito? Let us tell you what we thing, and a character by the name of Money might be in Sugar\'s future. Does Miguel Cotto have the right to cry about the possibility of tainted Margarito gloves in their 2008 classic war, or should his corner done a better job of observing the Mexican\'s wraps?

I have to agree that holding/hugging is cheating. A lot of good points were brought up with regards to the rules of boxing.

the only standard is if you can win without cheating, when margo beats cotto's asss in the rematch no one will question that it was because of the hand wraps

he was cleared via lie detector..

Since when can a lie detector get you off the hook?
