Cheating & Powerlifting
Submitted by Staff on December 30, 2009 - 8:19am.
In an article released last week at Elite FTS, Win if You Can, Cheat if You Must, But Always Cheat!, Billy Mimnaugh argues that cheating is a fundamental part of all sports and that powerlifting should be no different. Mimnaugh: "It’s bending the rules to give yourself an advantage. It’s what sports are about" and "in every single sport, the athlete is trying to get away with as much as he can".
Is cheating an accepted part of sports? Is cheating in powerlifting somehow different than in other sports? Does the composition of the judging ranks in powerlifting make any difference to the answer? Is there any sort of honor code in powerlifting similar to sports like golf?
