That attitude will soon have you pay for the next statue of Zeus, mister.
(Adding: there’s a row of Statues of Zeus near the Olympic stadium, with plaques describing why they were placed. The idea was that these would be bought with the fines placed on cheaters. One common way to cheat was to have various gods and/or powers place a curse on the competition, and we have numerous records of this)
There is a way to these things that must be respected. Even though my views on who could be allowed to compete is a bit lax for some here. There are some things that will NOT be tolerated. One thing for one to use their natural gifts and talents in sport. Another to seek outside influence to weight the scale.
(That is a deeply fascinating and amusing link. Thank you.)
Are you telling me you’re not supposed to do that?
