By Alan Baldwin RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Shakur Stevenson's bid for Olympic gold ended in tears on Saturday but the U.S. bantamweight could see a silver lining as he contemplated his future as a professional. Beaten in the final by Cuba's Robeisy Ramirez, now a two-times champion, Stevenson left the Rio arena and squatted, sobbing, outside with a towel covering his head to hide his distress. "I'm going to go back, look at my options and then focus on that." Professionals can fight in the Olympics, the 2016 tournament being the first time that has happened, but those who do so risk being struck off rankings and barred by the world title sanctioning bodies.
