Who sets the ground rules?

Today my close friend brought up a very interesting discussion and point.

Footballers are paid millions to play football and be a good role model, being fit and healthy is important for any athletes image, that's why they are being paid.

Athletes go through rigourous training and then have to go through tests for any doping and if anything illegal is found they will be disqualified and removed from any competition.

What about the models and photoshop? Isn't photoshop an ´illegal move´ when it comes to tampering with a models body?

Why is there a need to photoshop an image when they already hired a beauty that will look good and model? I'm sure most of the models really don't need photoshop. Even if any famous person had a spot in their shoot it wouldn't really matter to us, they would still look beautiful in our eyes (unless you are one of those online bullies shredding every person to pieces.)

My point is, why shouldn't magazines and whoever tampers with photos not be fined just the way a strong athlete does who tries to maintain his image. We know models also party and take their drugs but that is for another time and they can continue modelling, however, any photographer or company that sell these images to magazines and sites which portray the perfect size -2 woman, should be banned if not fined from touching up images that are for public use. Filters just like Instagram should be enough (joke), and other methods for art purpose and lighting is fine but removing flesh is unecessary.
