I remember the times when the Olympics were for amateur sportsmen. I don't actually, but they were.
Just imagine how much better it would be if anyone participating in a world, continental or national cup or championship would be disqualified from the Olympics.

I totally agree. I would also ban athletes that come from a country that didn't allow the athletes to participate as professionals.
It would change things for USA basketball and Cuban boxing, for two.
