There may have been some racism towards Jim Thorpe for him being Native American when the medals were taken away from him, considering other medal athletes had done the same thing & the committee never went after their medals. Wonderful athlete, too bad they didn't restore his medals to him while he was still alive. Losing those medals really did mess with him for the rest of his life.

stashio2020, Professionals are allowed in all events except boxing & wrestling as of now. The best example I can think of is the "Dream Team" from the U.S.A. in 1992.
