Should Past Olympians be Allowed To Return for another Run at the Gold?
Never mind sore losers or all the Hype around skaters like Plushenko, should past Olympic medalists like S&Z and Plushenko be allowed to return to the Olympics for another shot at the Olympic gold? I don't think it is fair to the other skaters who have have maintained their amateur status for these so called "retired" skaters to return to compete at the Olympics.
I think the old rule should be reinstated - once a skaters turns professional or no longer competes in the amateur world they should not be allowed to return exclusively for the Olympics.
