Back to the thought experiment, would you get very far with your landlord when he demanded rent money you didn't have because you decided to do a week of easy 10 milers that cost you $20 a pop?
Nice try. But it's a bit different if YOUR LANDLORD IS THE SAME GUY PAYING YOU OR TAKING MONEY AWAY, isn't it? I appreciated your original analogy, but this extension of it is a total fail.

Because it warms the hearts of the Canadian public to read about our Olympic athletes bowing out in the early going because there was no one there to give them physio, chiro or massages. Or to make sure they got their accreditation correct, had transportation to their competition venue or supervised their final tune-up workouts.
Oh, please. A 3:1 ratio of staff:athletes getting flown to the games while QUALIFYING ATHLETES stay home disgusts the general public and athletes alike.
