Simple answer? Ban professionalism. Only allow records to be set by true amateurs. If not, and money is allowed in, then open the floodgates and let it be a free for all. May the best cheat win!...........and pay for it with their life later on. Like Flo Jo.
Spot on Simon; as amateurs let us just enjoy being true sportsmen ........ leave the "racing prostitutes" (professionals) to commit suicide in which ever way they choose. They are not worth bothering about. Stop idolising them and turning them into 'heroes'.
