And Sam, just because he got away with it doesn't mean it isn't cheating. If I look on someone's paper during a final exam, but the teacher doesn't see me, but the rest of the class sees it, am I not cheating?
Again, calling someone a cheat is moral judgement. False starting is NOT cheating, underwater recovery is not cheating. They simply get your DQ'd. There has to be intent to deceive - which is impossible to know with any certainty - and thus it is presumptive for anyone to call him a cheater.
