The idea of cheating has gained a lot of popularity in the media. Pro athletes caught using illicit drugs to gain a competitive advantage are condemned and often have the awards they've been given revoked. Even professional e-sport players have been caught using drugs such as adderall to gain a professional advantage.

America’s baseball diamonds, soccer fields, hockey rinks, and basketball courts have never been so busy with children. The number of kids involved in an organized sport is not what is so groundbreaking. It’s the way in which children are playing or how their parents are arranging for them to play that may be cause for concern (Ferguson). Much controversy surrounds youth sports with the biggest disagreements coming over parental involvement and the intensity of play.
