The text appears to be a transcript of a video discussing instances of cheating in various sports.
The video begins by highlighting an incident in the NBA where a player was caught using an adhesive substance on the ball. The substance was applied in the form of a spray from a stick brand, which made the ball feel sticky when touched. The player was not penalized for his actions, despite the referee's clear statement that the substance was illegal.
The video then moves on to discuss the use of pine resin in baseball. It explains that professional league hitters use it to improve grip, but this is limited by regulations. The video also mentions an instance where a player was expelled for exceeding the allowed use of resin.
The video then shifts to American football, discussing a case of Dustin Ackley and Michael Pineda, who were caught using resin. Despite the prohibition, teams often use such substances, and it's only when a serious case is found that action is taken.
The video then discusses an incident in an NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. Mike Tomlin, the coach of the Steelers, was caught obstructing the path of Jacoby Jones during a game, which prevented him from scoring a touchdown. The NFL fined 100,000 dollars for this incident.
The video concludes by discussing various other instances of cheating in sports, including steroid use, fake injuries, and the use of unused balls in basketball. It ends with a comment on the suspension of rugby player Tom Williams for faking an injury to gain an unfair advantage.
Overall, the video emphasizes the widespread occurrence of cheating in sports, despite the strict regulations and penalties in place.
