With paralympic events gaining so much in profile and prestige lately and
with champion parathletes attracting government stipends, prize money and
commercial endorsements on par with able-bodied Olympic champions it may be

nothing of addictive allure and irrational competitiveness of any top-flight
sport which forces even healthy rational people to pollute their bodies with
toxic chemicals to get to the podium.
