No Catch-22. If they're cheating, they're out, and have to earn reaccreditation again.

Where is it acceptable that because they're not getting caught, they can graduate and go on to Pro sports or other careers, while those who don't have the same athletic ability must do it the honest way?

If you get caught cheating, you lose. Period. Pete Rose wasn't even cheating, but he's out of the Baseball HoF. Meanwhile, known dopers still play. So we either have to accept that we're okay with cheaters, or we're not. This middle-ground of "well, it's not cheating unless you get caught" is half the reason we're as messed up in this country as we are.
