Okay but one of the people he beat is literally a college athlete. Sure some of the retirees and semi pros have a good chance of training with good facilities, but there's a reason they're semi pros or retired.
I'm not even asking you to have sympathy with anyone here, but "Record holding olympic athlete beats retiree and college athlete" isn't really a headline is the thing.
Sure, but that's not the headline. The headline is "record holding Olympic athlete doesn't do drugs, wins a competition run by someone who thinks doing drugs means you can beat a record holding Olympic athlete"
