Greatest cheats in sports history

2. Ben Johnson
The Canadian sprinter was hailed as the "Fastest Man Alive" and became a hero in Canada after beating Carl Lewis and the rest of the field in the 100-meters at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

Just days later, however, it was learned that Johnson had tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid stanozolol, prompting Olympic organizers to strip him of his gold medal. Johnson's positive test made his name synonymous with the use of performance-enhancing drugs and helped generate the current public concern over doping in Major League Baseball, cycling and other professional sports.

I've seen documentaries on that race. The entire field in that race used steroids, Johnson was the only one tested, and the only one caught...

It's against the rules yes, but it's not really cheating the field if everyone else was using them. They should all have been tested.

You rough up the surface of the ball, giving you more grip, more control, more wicked knuckle balls.

If scuffed and thrown properly, it sets up turbulent flow on one side of the ball (less drag) so there's an assymetry in forces and the ball veers unpredictably in the direction of the scuffed side.

Everybody was always after Mike Scott trying to catch him. Whitey Ford supposedly did it at the end of his career, he had his catcher scratch the ball on a sharp piece of metal on his shin guard before throwing it back to him. Joe Neikro getting nailed with a whole tool kit was the funniest though.
 
The best has got to be the spanish team using normal people to beat the retards in the retard olympics. How pathetic is that?
