What "ethical questions" does it raise for you? Are you insinuating that "old guys" who are faster than you must have some sort of "medical program", or are you suggesting a return to the "true amateur" model wherein training itself is unethical and manual laborers should thus be excluded from races due to an unfair advantage?
