I don't think there are many olympians who are really amateur, in that they don't get paid nowadays. Some of them in the high profile events get huge payouts. Someone like Bolt can get hundreds of thousands just to turn up at a meet. |

Olympic football should be for the young up and coming players.
I think it should only be open to players aged 16 to 21yrs, and even then not restricted to the players attached to professional clubs.
It may not be how you see it, but why should the same old people get the glory all the time.
I've got no problem with Beck's and co coaching the young lads, and at the end of the day they would probably get more respect from the general public if that's how they contributed  |
