"the issue relates to maintaining a level playing field among the participants in the sport."\
First of all, you have to realize that professional sports is just "show biz", nothing more...
Olympic athletes are so highly engineered that it also has little to do with natural ability.
Your argument is bogus.

If what you're saying is true, then every game in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB is orchestrated and the outcome preordained. You are seriously arguing that there is no competitive difference between Major League Baseball and the World Wrestling Federation? What evidence do you have of this?
And you are calling someone else's argument "bogus"?

First of all, you have to realize that professional sports is just "show biz", nothing more...Its pretty obvious that you've never played competitive sports. While "show biz" is part of the game, there is a certain talent required as well. Have you ever even tried to hit a 90 mph fastball?

Just because you don't qualify to compete doesn't mean you should insult those that do.
Your argument is bogus.
You haven't a clue as to what you're talking about.
