Mark Spitz, Michael Phelps, Janet Evans, Matt Biondi.....Johnny Weismuller.......
All true amateurs as compared to the NBA all stars and the PGA players..........
Michael Phelps has made millions swimming. The whole amateur thing was a complete illusion. The competitors were not amateurs by choice, they were forced to be amateurs. However, you could be paid by the state as was the case of the Soviet Union and other communist nations. The best thing that has happened in the Olympics was when they eliminated the hypocrisy of “amateurism”.
