The founders wanted the events to be amateur only with anyone being paid for being professional being banned or DQ'd. Yet now only one sport in the Games is not professional. How did we get here? Why did we get here? This episode delves into this change of heart.
Part 16 of a 20 part short nugget series charting the strange and fascinating people, sports, cheats, boycotts, doping and so much more that have happened in the Olympic Games since 1896.
Each episode is stuffed full of the quirky and the crazy and in their no more than 15 minutes make your eyebrows raise, your head scratch and your lips smirk.
