Yes, the tennis team is all pros as was the basketball team. In all fairness, it was done because the Soviet block athletes were paid, and still are. The biggest payday is in Kazakstan where a medal is worth $250k. Russia is close behind at $113k. They are pros who get paid to train and compete. Yeah, well, I watched a bit of Olympics when the athletes were amateurs. You aren't old enough. The Russians have been using professionals for many, many years. They also often used "girls" who were actually "guys" .... thus making gender tests necessary. |
