 * 1) She didn't convince Twilight to use magic until after it was clear the Wondercolts were using it to give themselves an edge. "Fight fire with fire", remember? One could make the argument that, yes, Cinch was blackmailing Twilight to get her to compete, but at least she didn't put her students on any questionable or illegitimate training regimens (steroids, for example).
 * 2) Again, Midnight Sparkle didn't become an issue until AFTER the Wondercolts were accused of cheating. It didn't matter to Cinch what they were using the magic for -- what mattered is that they had it to begin with, as well as "trained attack plants". "Only used magic to save people"? To an actual sporting event promoter, that's just an excuse.
