paragraph_text: The Olympic Games were originally intended for amateur athletes. However, the advent of the state - sponsored ``full - time amateur athlete ''of the Eastern Bloc countries further eroded the ideology of the pure amateur, as it put the self - financed amateurs of the Western countries at a disadvantage.
