Modern athletes, fuelled by colossal rewards, can easily be tempted into misbehaviour. They end up playing the system not the game, by duping the ref into making wrong but favourable decisions. Ultimately that destroys the point of sport. Few would wish to see it reduced (like some kinds of wrestling) to an acting competition. Races such as running, cycling or motor sports offer little scope for theatrics. But in soccer "diving" - falling to the ground to create the appearance of a foul - is endemic. It can lead to the game-changing award of a penalty kick, probably the single most momentous refereeing decision in any sport. Although rules limiting physical contact are probably the easiest for players to exploit, athletes can also take advantage of guidelines on injuries
