Salomėja Zaksaitė, a researcher at the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, gave an interview to the weekly newspaper "Savaitė" about cheating in sport. In the article, she outlines the various types of fraud - the use of chemicals such as doping; fixing the outcome of a match; bribes; technological fraud, such as the manipulation of sporting equipment, weights or clothing; or more innocent types of fraud, such as staged fouls. S. Zaksaitė illustrated the different types of fraud with real-life examples, from swimmers wearing clothes that allow them to reach higher speeds to staged, "sold" fouls, which in Yugoslavia at the time were considered to be a special form of sporting excellence.

When discussing cheating, she points out that fraud cases usually do not get publicity and remain behind closed doors in the sports community. The few that are brought to the public's attention face problems of proof in the legal institutions.

While it will not be possible to eradicate cheating from sport completely, according to the criminologist lawyer, there are measures that can reduce the number of cases. These include providing social welfare for athletes, education and values formation for athletes, as well as the creation of better sporting infrastructure, adapting criminal laws to the evolving concept of fraud and, finally, fair play mechanisms for individual sports.
