Every aspect of this is loathsome. At simplest level its cheating because the fake match leaves the "winner" fresher than their opponent because their opponent had to actually complete in the first and subsequent match. Then their is the need to lie about it a sure sign of moral wrong doing. Then there is the act of subverting an individuals career and choices with ugly coercion that is only possible in the context of a society so broken that people may be disappeared, destroyed, or tortured for displeasing dear leader or his minions. It's a many layered shit sandwich of gross that only appears bland when simple corruption doesn't have to give way to making good on threats.
