The cheating among athletes can be described as a combination of desire to win at all costs and low self esteem which makes an athlete consider competition too good to defeat fair and square. Nowadays the most common cheating technique is use of illegal performance enhancing drugs. A lot of top athletes like Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones fell victims to the temptation.

The reason some athletes cheat is because of the huge amount of pressure they get from their sponsors, you see the thing is unlike most team sports athletes are on their own this means that they cant Dodge any blame for failure, and they only have one oppoturnity to prove themselves after years of trainning(this can lead to people doing things they normally would not)

People cheat simply to win. There is no other reason to cheat. Cheaters often play dirty just to obtain the glory or to win.
