> What logic is this? If you commit one crime, now forever you must prove your innocence? That's dumb.
[trust: noun] assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone.
If someone demonstrates they’re untrustworthy by cheating to meet a selfish ‘want’ (success, status, attention) rather than out of desperation for a ‘need’ (feeding their family), why would you ever trust them again without evidence of some kind of personality transforming life event?
Also, competition isn’t just about winning - only one person ultimately wins after all - the other players have to be able to take pleasure and meaning from just taking part, and the suspicion of cheating completely undermines that - it sullies the whole endeavour for both players and spectators.
