Sometimes, I feel like cheaters in other sports should also go to jail.

A racehorse jockey found himself fleeing State Police on Saturday as a result of an investigation into cheating allegations at the Delta Downs Racetrack and Casino near Lake Charles.
Detectives with the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division were conducting post-race checks of each jockey when 41-year-old Ricardo Hernandez-Perez, of Vinton, bolted from the stables. During his brief escape attempt, the jockey removed a battery-operated shocking device from his clothing and tossed it into one of the horse stalls, State Police said.
Officers quickly apprehended Hernandez-Perez and booked him into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. He faces charges of unnatural stimulation of a horse. Louisiana law prohibits the possession or use of devices designed to unnaturally stimulate, depress, or excite a racehorse before or during a race. The law also extends to racetrack stables, sheds and other facilities where eligible horses are kept.
If convicted, Hernandez-Perez could face a fine ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 and a prison sentence of one to five years.

Gerard Melancon and the Patin bros patented the machine. They were pros at using them. Shite like that has been going on for years in Louisiana.

You really don’t want that on your record. Anyone who sees it on the rap sheet will wonder what kind of deviant sex you had with that horse.

Ricardo can’t hold a candle to ole Sylvester Carmouche. Delta Downs has an interesting history of scandalous behavior.

This is kind of funny because I have some close friends in Vinton and they have long told me never to throw money at DD. It was all crooked.

In Louisiana, especially at Delta and Evangeline, its the norm

I remembered that these guys went to jail, but I can't think of any other examples. Are there any other sports where cheating can get you sent to jail?

Is there no sport were there is no cheating?
I remember the chess cheating scandal. Now jockeys are shocking horses.
