I find it hard to believe that a sponsored sportsperson would be able to give a retrospective review on any product.

If their sponsors make that product, how can they review all other products impartially?

eg The climber is sponsored by company X and uses their ropes. They are a good rope, but company Y makes an even better rope.
Does the climber say 'my company X rope is great!' (But in their head they are thinking about a friends Company Y rope they used which is a lot better.)

Their review would be polarised, not giving out all the information, only talking about the good points, not the bad or negitive. A true review should have pro's and con's to it.

I'm with you Neil.
