That's not what I'm referring to. But I guess if your other career pays for your training in a 2nd sport then I wouldn't want to see that person compete either. It's the professional money that tilts the scales. Pro's in the Olympics has just turned it into the World Wide All Star Competition. But like everything else, the Olympics are all about $$$ or they wouldn't even exist in this day and age. I miss the American ameteurs competing.
