The few Japanese I talked to about it called it poor sportmanship for those Universities to ship in runners specifiacally for that one race.

I dont think it is for only 1 race. Of course it gives an edge to the japanese teams. But what about that person from Kenya who now has a chance at something. there is no way he can only run. He has to have a passing grade.
Or at least try. I call it oppertunity. Japanese recruit for American football here. I play for the huskies and am an inside linebacker. I knoock the shit out of the japanese players. Granted only 4 gaijin can be on a team and 2 on the feild at the same time but hey, It is their rules. Look at Pro baseball here.... HELL!!! Look at SUMO!
Shall I go on?
