P(F|D) = P(F)

Decision to put on a gold medal being made is not evidence of fast running?

Only if you screwed up your primitives definitions in a slightly subtler way, so you can't distinguish between decision to put on a gold medal and decision not to fight the CIO member who's trying to put one around your neck, or if you forgot to condition on things like "cares about running fast".
