Cheating is intentionally getting an unfair challenge. Did Suarez intentionally handball it? Yes. Did he gain an unfair advantage? Yes. Because it was 100% going in, but now Ghana had to step 11 yards back with the possibility of missing the penalty.

Fouls can be cheating or not, it depends on the type of punishment. If the punishment fits the crime and does not give the other team an unnecessary disadvantage, then it's not cheating.

We aren't going by Websters definition of what cheating is. We are going by the FIFA rulebooks. Handball is a foul, and thus should be treated as such.

Where in the FIFA rulebook does it list out cheating offenses or defines cheating?
