Cheating in sport is as old as sport itself. The athletes of ancient Greece used potions to fortify themselves before a contest, and their modern counterparts have everything from anabolic steroids and growth hormones to doses of extra red blood cells with which to invigorate their bodies. These days, however, such stimulants are frowned on, and those athletes must therefore run the gauntlet of organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which would rather that athletes competed without resorting to them.
The agencies have had remarkable success. Testing for anabolic steroids (in other words, artificial testosterone) was introduced in the 1970s, and the incidence of cheating seems to have fallen dramatically as a result. The tests, however, are not foolproof. And a study just published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism by Jenny Jakobsson Schulze and her colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden suggests that an individual&rsqu

They may even manage to turn up a copy of the test itself, accidentally not turned in by a former student of Dr. Smith’s. Teachers should also take some commonsense precautions at test time. They should make students separate themselves--by at least one seat--during an exam, and they should watch the class closely. The best place for the teacher to sit is in the rear of the room, so that a student is never sure if the teacher is looking at him or her. Last of all, teachers must make it clear to students that there will be stiff penalties for cheating. Anyone caught chea
