You Do Not Want to Open That Can of Worms

In 1968, an unnamed person in the Belfast telegraph said: "They do not want to open that can of worms. It would be another Pandora's box" The issue at hand was manufacturers paying people to wear their clothes or use their gear in the Olympics. Since they were being paid to participate in the sport through promotion, they were no longer amateurs. And this is what people were saying is like, 'You do not wants to open this can of worms' Now if you hear that from my ears, it sounds like they're talking about performance enhancing drugs,. But no, back then, Olympians were only allowed to be amateurs, not professionals at their sport.
