- Cycling is in fact a goldmine of hilarious cheating scandals, for example the runners paid some spectators to throw pins under the wheels of their opponents, or there was a guy who, at the top of a hill, was handed a "water" bottle by his team, which was in fact filled by lead that subsequently dragged him down the hill faster. Some cyclists just shamelessly let themselves be dragged by the team's support car when they're handing them the water bottle, regardless of several cameras filming them at any given moment.
- Rosie Ruiz (a [woman](woman.md)) was a "marathon runner" who used to take rides during the run, during the Boston Marathon she simply took the subway :D
- TV shows: In [1984](1984.md) Michael Larson, a kind of absolute autist, obsessively watched some sort of crappy quiz show that involved pressing buttons and he observed a pattern in what should have been a [random](randomness.md) blinking of lights or something, then he went on the show and with the knowledge absolutely destroyed it, won over $100K and created one of the biggest scandals in TV history. In 2001 Charles Ingram cheated his way to winning the *Who Wants to Be a Millionaire* by letting his wife in the audience cough on correct answers. Etcetc.
- Instances of cheating in [speedrunning](speedrunning.md) and progaming ("esports") would make for their own article, the Internet front pages are daily bombarded by headlines of "CHEATERS CAUGHT CHEATING", now to such a degree that it stops even being funny anymore, it's actually true that attention due to cheating allegations is still an attention and so, unsurprisingly since we live in attention economy, people perhaps even welcome it (a cheater either cheats his way to the top or gets caught and adopts a role of repenting criminal, either way is good for him). Some famous cases include the [Trackmania](trackmania.md) cheating scandal (the "GOAT" player Riolu, as well as many other top players, were one day uncovered as cheaters thanks to a new tool, Riolu just disappeared lol), some girl streaming a "blindfold" speedrun of some shitty game (spoiler: was looking at another screen), the Dream Minecraft cheating scandal (cheated a speedrun on hacked client, admitted to it but said it was "accidental", nothing happened because he's too famous and rich), countless instances of splicing, [TAS](tas.md) runs presented as real time runs etcetc.
