I agree. They ruined the Olympics when they allowed professionals. Because some countries cheated was not a good reason to do this. That's like saying that stealing is against the law and some people steal so let's eliminate the law.
The Olympics was exciting pure amateur athletes who were mostly kids worked so hard to win for the love of their sport and the love of their country.
