Why should there be some limitation based on someone's opinion of an athlete's advertising value? No doubt there are many Olympic athletes whose sponsorships reflect not only advertising value but the sponsor's intent to help support the athlete while training in his or her sport. It's still legal for a swimsuit manufacturer (for example) to pay a prospective Olympic swimmer more than the company could expect to obtain in advertising benefit.
