Re: t-and-f: $$$$$ not the root of all evil.

The presence of money, by itself, is not the problem. But the hugely inequitable distribution of money might be. There is just too much of a disparity between what is distributed to a semi-finalist versus what is distributed to a finalist, and even a worse disparity between what 1st place gets

Re: t-and-f: $$$$$ not the root of all evil.

I think this thread has a dangerous assumption, that is not true. "People run mainly for the money." Even if we are to accept the cheating, it is about winning. The money has come and is coming, but the objective is to win. People cheat to win in this sport. In the times of the East German

The G.O.A.T. says: "...People cheat to win in this sport. In the times of the East German regime, it was about winning. There was very little money, especially going to the athlete. People cheat to win. Money has been a result not a cause." Correct. People would cheat to win, especially

How about a "per capita" award structure? In other words, the inner of the NY Marathon gets a precentage of the average yearly per capita income of his or her country, w/ lower places getting smaller percentages. Thus, if some guy from the US wins he takes home $50,000; if he's from Ethiopia,
