Nothng but the grave will stop the gambler. I've heard 'God dam crooks are going to steal this race' or 'it's all fixed' for the past 30 yrs. Instead of leaving the track or sitting out, the program or form is quickly turned and the entire process repeats itself.
There's cheating in every sport sans maybe billards. The Russian Mob is alleged to have fixed some Wimbleton Matches, NBA refs are fixing games with calls and everyone from MLB players to high school girls are using steroids.
Unless a zero tollerance policy is passed with years suspensions handed out instead of weeks it's always going to be a problem. Now I got to run. Where's my milkshake?
