A bunch of spoiled millionaires telling each other they use nitrogen (or whatever) in their tires is a little so they don't blister is a little different than endangering lives giving away military secrets, lighten up!

Anyone in that business signs non-disclosure agreements, that is certain.
But, regardless, the "it's not a crime" standard is just mis-guided.
By that standard, there's no problem with, and would be no penalty for, drugged-out Tour de France riders, steroid-pumped Russian gymnasts, home runs hit with illegal bats, pretty much any sort of cheating in sports at all. Because almost none of that is actually "criminal".
So you'd either have (1) unrestrained cheating, spying, drugging, etc in all sorts of sports, or (2) bringing every detail of sports under the heavy hand of the criminal justice system. Seems like a pretty bad idea.
