Simple sanctions could be applied to reduce cheating. For example, a player found to be diving from the videos should be made to play a full game wearing a diving suit. Maradona could have been made to play a game with his arms in his sleeves stitched to his sides.

My father was sent off just once in many games of rugby. His opponent in the scrum (he was a hooker: how many can say that of their father?) was persistently making niggling use of his fist and open hand out of sight of the ref. Dad finally had enough. He waited till the scrum broke up after the ref had asked them to re-form, then, in full sight of everyone, swung a punch that laid the offender out cold.
