Easier said than done. if you are in a culture that buys success then you are not willing to wait 20 years to develop talent.
All Qatar are doing is the same as most big club teams do but on a national scale.
I can also understand it from the point of view of the athletes, you might be the 5th best in the world and the 4th best from your country and there might be only 2 places in the Olympics so I can understand why people would take the money for the opportunity to compete.
You look at the money that Qatar can offer athletes especially those from Africa and Eastern Europe. In Romania the gymnasts get $80 a month and you contrast that with the salary for a school teacher of $50 per month, so a gymnast is rich by Romanian statndards but if someone offers you even more then you are going to take it.
