For many years the Olympic Games have been financed from the pockets of the taxpayers of the host nation. Professor Peter Sloane hails the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as a breakthrough in the private sponsorship of sport, criticises several of the conclusions of the Report of the Howell Committee, and argues for a relaxation of the rules restricting participation in paid sport.
