	Shamateurism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shamateurism is an issue which sometimes arises at the elite level of competitive sports which require participants to be amateurs.
		The team sport which has had the greatest problems with shamateurism is probably rugby union.

		Thus was born the process of turning a blind eye to illegal payments, known as 'shamateurism', enabling a few lucky top level players to remain in Union and still get paid.
		This problem did not affect the other home nations nearly as badly as the Welsh as in England, Scotland and Ireland Rugby was a largely middle class phenomenon, played by doctors, stockbrokers and bankers who were not in need of the financial incentive League could offer.
		With this acceptance of shamateurism, another factor, but this time thankfully a sporting one, helped to establish Rugby Union as Wales' main game.
