yeah because your 3 Grey cups in the last 30 years with way better teams and way more money to spend you should be the ones cheating by now. (including the worst GC team ever in 2001 with an astounding 8-10 record)
Bothers me that people are treating it like Spygate. We didn't tarnish the game like the Patriots and take unfair advantage of other teams.
The Stamps or Lions or anybody else could've spent under $100,000 over and only had to pay that same amount. Everyone knows this and the penalty is so slim that I see more teams violating the cap for under $100,000 in the future. (any higher than that and you lose a draft pick so not a good idea) We saw a loophole and took advantage of it, live and learn.
The Riders did not do anything that is not well within the rules (sort of). I even find it a little far fetched to call it cheating. It's like a tripping penalty in hockey. You can do it all you like but you will get penalized and eventually your ignoring of the rules will catch up with you. People don't put asterisks next to Stanley Cup Champions because they took too many penalties in the playoffs. We did it we suffer the consequences so who cares.
