Sorry, I don't buy the "it's ok because he didn't get caught, that was the rules of the game." That makes you the cynical one, not me. You want lies to prosper--THAT is cynicism.
Lies do prosper. Case in point, Obama. They always will.

In the field of sport, he was more honest than the next guy. I see it more like hooking your guy in basketball, whatever the guys get away with is the de facto rule. This is not a question of moral ethos, positive law but rather normative law.
