I for one am tired of looking up to athletic "heroes" and a couple years down the road, they admit to cheating or are caught... I feel like a fool when this happens because I cheered for them and wanted them to win/medal. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like getting burned like that (from a fan's perspective).
This is why I don't buy into it beyond skin depth... honestly... it plays into their egos and sense of money/fame means liberty to do as you please.
The best true sporting moment I saw via catching the ESPY's was the 2 girls carrying their opponent around the bases for a HR b/c she blew her knee out on the way to first.
