I agree that sports personalities are overpaid but there are far greedier sports and sportspeople out there than Paula Radcliffe.
It takes a lot of hard work to train at that level - she will be running over 100 miles in a week - all year round. She doesn't just turn up to a couple of races every year & win.
I understand your point Tea - but you're highlighting 1 race (which she didn't even enter last year) and making a snap judgement on 1 person.
