Is cheating to win really winning?

I am not a sports fan by any stretch of the imagination (only basketball). Lately in the sports world there has been all this talk about Mr. A. Rod taking some type of enhancement drugs that apparently helps him be worth the 200 + million he is being paid by major league baseball! I don't understand why so many well off or broke people for that matter, take a huge risk for the short term pay off of winning? Heck, for the matter, it is the same in relationships 2! But I am gonna let you figure that one out lol!
My nephew told me he is loving his love for playing basketball. I was shocked considering how good he is, but he did make sense when he said how his body is tired. I can dig it. Sure, everyone wants to win but who wants to put in work. I hear so many women speak of loosing weight as they sit and eat more and more food.
My question arises again. Is cheating to win really winning? I heard Tom Joyner say that if you ain't cheating then you really don't want to win in today's world? I don't agree with that but I do believe that many people do subscribe to that skool of thought. The other day I returned back from my lunch break 10 min past my time. I told my supervisor and my co-workers told me I should have kept that to myself. Perhaps they have a good point, but I sometimes do the right thing, even if i get in trouble.
At the end of the day, cheaters never win long term. Who wants to llok over thier back all the dang time. Just do the right thing, seek the kingdom first and have a clean concsiouis.
