Best Answer

If you were caught cheating, you had to pay fines and with that money, statues of Zeus were erected, known as the Zanes. Each of these statues were placed along the passageway that led to the stadium, with the name of the cheat inscribed on its base. To get to the competitions site, the athletes had to walk past all the statues. Also, if you cheated, you would never be allowed to compete again because cheating was considered disrespectful to the gods.

The cheater, their trainer, and sometimes the city the cheater was from were fined. With this money statues of Zeus were erected, with the name of the cheating athlete inscribed on it, along the tunnels that led to the Olympic Stadium. History has recorded that the first cheater of the Olympics to be a boxer named Eupolis. He bribed three opponents to allow him to win his matches. His fine was the money needed to build six bronze statues of Zeus.
