Hi there YBGIRP...

You've managed to say it all in my opinion ! These elitist sports professionals make big money, from all the endorsements, Television appearances, and prestige sporting events. As well as receiving much public adulation for their 'heroic' achievements on the athletic field.
All of which smacks of money, and yet more money, a monumental disgrace in my opinion. Well said YBGIRP, very well said indeed.

The bare-chest hockey and judo ironman Putin had a straight face when he declared Russia must be dope-free. Russian dopes should figure out that number one caused Russia's Olympic shame as well as bank sanctions and just maybe his time is up.
