We’re not sure that chess qualifies as a sport — OK, we’re sure, and it doesn’t – but it is hoping to be included in the Olympics in the future. No, seriously. they have drug testing and everything. But that’s not why we’re here. The real reason: A chess player was caught cheating and banned from competition for 10 years. The crazy part? He appears to have been cheating for the past 18 months by doing nothing more than communicating with co-conspirators via a mobile phone and a Bluetooth. That seems as obvious as a goalie cheating by placing a giant block of steel over part of the net, but maybe that’s just us. Oh, and for the less technologically savvy, this is a picture of a guy wearing a Bluetooth. Never use one.
