European Athletes Amateurs In Name Only
Western European amateur athletes increasingly rely on official subsidies and under‑the‑table funds to train for the 1976 Olympics. An AP survey across eight countries shows many stars earn at least 20 000 dollars yearly, while still retaining amateur status through cash payments for food, medical care, travel, and training costs. West Germany funds 12 million marks annually for needy hopefuls and 3 million more for specialized training, with Italian contenders receiving up to 500 dollars monthly, though top performers may earn more via club payoffs.
