part, not about winning. Rules are often made up as you go along and adapted to make it more fun. Sport is different. The rules are codified and standardised and must be strictly kept. In true sport there is always a spirit of sportsmanship and playing to the rules. All sports used to be amateur; people did not get paid to play them. In this country, taking part and playing to the rules was more important than winning. Many people still believe this is true. If you win the 100m Olympic fi nal just because you took drugs to help you go that split second faster, is that sport or blatant cheating? Surely you did not win the 100m because taking drugs is not within the rules? Nowadays sport is big business. There are huge fi nancial rewards for winning, for sponsorship and through media attention. Sportspeople and teams that win get these fi nancial rewards, losers do not. This has made winning a lot more important than taking part for many people. An excellent example comes from rugby union when Leicester played Munster in the Heineken Cup Final in 2002. Neil Back, who was also an England player, deliberately ruined a Munster put-in during the fi nal scrum of the game to prevent them scoring a try, which if it had been converted would have won them the game. Afterwards, Back said that he did it to ensure that Leicester won. Leicesters director of rugby said It just shows how much Neil is a winner. Do students agree Neil Back is a winner or do they think he cheated? Did the skill and fitness of his team beat the others or just his cheating win them the game?
