Is there a sport that hasn't been ruined by money?

Football, obviously, we're living it

Cricket, ever-shorter formats (T20 is too long make it 100 balls!) losing all the psychology and subtlety you need at test level (ECB don't seem to care, other countries still take Test cricket seriously and I wish we did too but suspect whatever changes come now will be half-assed and maybe make us less competitive at the shorter forms while not really improving us at the longer forms)

Is there a sport that has improved over the last twenty or so years and not been spoiled by money?
