What's Olympic athletes' salary?

If they get paid that poorly, where do they get the money for the HGH?

The Olympics are supposed to be for amature athletes. Getting paid a salary to play the sport = professional athlete.

Yeah, but the olympics are full of pro basketball and hockey players... so really the whole "amateur" thing has been bullshit for a while.

That was because the best US athletes for a long time were in the professional leagues and we sent college players. Other countries would have government sponsored pro level athletes competing which left us with a disadvantage.
