“Many think that the short 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 a cheater. Don’t do it.”-George Mitchell

What this quote is trying to say is that cheating isn't worth all the problems or worries it causes. So it's better not to cheat at all then to have to worry about the long term pain that comes with cheating. It is better to do the right thing and not cheat no matter what. If  you choose to cheat then all the glory that came with that one lie you made will be revoked. For example, George Mitchell talks about how steroids are bad and are for cheaters. Well if you get caught using steroids you might be incarcerated and also be revoked of anything you got with choosing to lie. You may also lose your life because of the drugs. If you want to be a good athlete you need to work hard for it and not cheat. There are no shortcuts in life. If things are easy in life then they are not worth having. The harder and more difficult things in life to earn are the ones worth having. It's better to earn them by not cheating.
