Cheating in Contest
Abstract. We analyze a game between three players: two athletes and the Inspector. Athletes contest with one another, while each athlete can cheat in order to increase his/her chances to win. The Inspector is interested in preventing cheating. S/he performs a test of athletes, in order to explore cheating. The test is costly for the Inspector. We compare two approaches for the tests: ex ante approach, where the Inspector decides which athlete to test before s/he knows the results of the competition; and ex post approach, where the Inspector decides which athlete to test when results of the competition are known.
