Eradicate Cheating in Sport

To:  FIFA, English FA, football teams and sponsors

We, the undersigned, believe sports and the conduct of players within them are an example and reflection of society's principles. When principles of fair play and decency are not shown on the field of play society will start to reflect that, just as it will if principles are shown.

We, the undersigned, are tired of cheating in sports going unpunished. We want to see real penalties for cheating in the English Premiership and beyond. We call on you, FIFA, the English Football Association, the Premiership teams, the players and sponsors to effect change.

We, the undersigned, call for detailed post match analysis of Premiership games, as well as games in other sports and leagues, especially pinpointing successful attempts to cheat. We call for resulting in match bans for players and, most importantly, points deducted for their teams.

We, the undersigned, are positive that points deductions, specifically, and not fines are required to make sure that teams, managers and players are motivated toward honesty in their play, knowing that cheating is too large a risk.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
