Episode 108: Earlier this month, ESPN reported that 11,000 runners were disqualified after they were found to have cut at least part of the 26.2-mile course at a marathon in Mexico City. They weren’t running for big cash prizes, but that didn’t stop about a third of runners from cheating.

Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada examine what motivates people to be dishonest, whether in sports, in the classroom or when paying their taxes.
