"Many think that the long term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't, In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than cheater. Don't do it."
-George Mitchell
I believe that this statement is 100% correct. There is nothing worse than a cheater. The excitement of victory only last a minute but the pain from knowing that you didn't do it alone last a lifetime. Many people believe that it is worth it until they see that it will hunt them for the rest of there life. Being a cheater is choosing the wrong and isn't on the CTR path. Cheating doesn't lead you to the road of success. For example, if you cheat on a test and see that you scored a high score you will be proud in the beginning but then the more you think about how you actually got that score you will feel guilty not only for that moment but for a lifetime. As for what we seen in class about the baseball player Mark McGuire he had beat the record of the most home runs of the season. The over excitement seemed to last a lifetime. But it didn't. What did last a lifetime was the guilt of the selfish unfairness of that season. He quoted "I wish that this would have never came into my life." Talking about the steroids he used to cheat that season. He also quoted " I am sorry to all the baseball fans." This is a guilt that was hunting him and now will sting him forever. Now the real question is, is the short term gain worth the long term pain?
