Apparently you can be disqualified for "not using best efforts to win".
Admittedly, losing a match you don't need to win is different from winning a match by a smaller margin than you're capable of, so I don't know whether it would count.

Maybe the IOC shouldn't let Nigeria compete if they can't keep up with real countries.

My thoughts are they could institutionalise something like the soccer competition

Soccer does that on purpose so that the World Cup means a lot more *NM*

Football does it *because* the Euro/World Cups mean a lot more. An important distinction. *NM*

What Wibble said, and the reason has to do with the amount of competitive teams.

my main objection is how the olympics are now nothing more than an extension of pro leagues

You'd have us kick out every Olympian other than the boxers, then?

no, i'd have the olympics be more about sport and less about money

I prefer athletes to put in their best performances, since their wages are paid for by spectators

The "professionals shouldn't compete" argument is one of the dumbest things I've read in months.
