According to one website, $100 in 1977 was worth $406.40 in 2016. Still not worth it to risk a job and possible jail time.

I will never understand why folks risk their career for small dollar amounts.  
While $100 was a
lot more in 1977 than now (maybe not?), still, it is a paltry sum compared to 
one's career.  WHY?
No doubt, there must have been a whistle-blower.

Equally, why do guys cheat during a contest?  For what?  These are not a 
life-altering events.
I just can't help but think back to the recent log-padding that caused a 
multi-year, retro DQ and
a multi-year ban.  WHY?  Was it worth it?
