If Player A takes PED's, but never gets caught, did he cheat?

Except your neglecting to realize that it isn't analogous to the Bonds discussion.

You are taking for granted your belief in the unproven allegations, and projecting them as fact upon the rest of the scenario.

Let's back up and rework the analogy into a situation that more accurately relates to Bond's situation:


If Person B alleges Player A took PED's, but it has not been proven, did Player A cheat?

You see when we strip back the allegations, the speculation, and the opinion, and look just at the facts, the answer becomes clear.

You *think* he cheated. You *believe* he cheated. It is your *opinion* that he cheated.

But in reality, it isn't a fact, and it hasn't been proven.

Funny how that works, huh?
