U have to be kidding.....nobody needs a valid excuse,styles make fights....a valid excuse its something to explain why u lost..no explanation needed...
i agree with your statement for the most part, but u dont think getting caught trying to cheat before a big fight will affect u somehow?
It would only affect you if you knew you were cheating all along. If someone accused you, you would just doi the gloves again and re wrap etc. if you know you would conciously think bout it
