Anyone who thinks sports are about a level playing fields is naive. You can't level any playing field in sports. Sports that try that are roundly lampooned, like gull's NASCAR for example. As an adult I intend to use my resources as I see fit and that does not mean I need some people who can't afford a suit to tell me what to do.
What about an athlete that trains longer, harder, smarter. Maybe we should tell him not to train too much. What about the athlete that has access to a better coach and facilities. Maybe we should tell her she can't participate and has to swim in a dumpy pool. What about people who have genetic abilities that predispose them to better swimming. Maybe we shoudn't let them compete. It's all about a level playing field, after all.
Communists rule!
