The point really is where do you draw the line between professional and amatuer.
The same line is now very blurred in the Olympic movement with poorer countries and competitors struggling between work and training and the wealthy supported or sponsored can put everything in to training. The less fortunate are unable to compete to full potential because training is interupted by the fact that they have to work.
I may be wrong here but I was of the opinion that competition is only true and fair if the playing field is equal.
