What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.

The technical shirts have a built in self destruct device that reads your chip time. If you try to wear one without actually running the race they will burst into flames.
I think you'd have to be wound pretty tight to turn this into a moral or ethical issue.

Well, I wouldn't throw it away or hide it in a drawer or box forever. I would wear it on training runs, around the house, when washing the car or mowing the grass, etc. However, I would not wear it in a public or social setting, such as to other races, shopping, movies, dining, etc.
