If the pro athlete becomes a BAD role model and do bad stuff, then the child should know right from wrong and should know that what the role model is doing is bad. Why would you emulate the role model when you KNOW that whet they are doing is wrong?

It all depends on what athlete you are referring to.Yes and no. They can influence you to work harder and become a star, but they can often do stupid things, like drugs or getting in a fight, which you shouldn't do.
Athletes can be good role models because they can show leadership as well as participation and responsibility. They can show leadership by helping teammates and or helping a player on the other team. They also show participation by participating in their sport. Athletes are often very healthy aswell because they train so often which is a good role model to have because being healthy is very important. They show responsibility by trying their best to contribute their part to the team and or country if in the olympics. Depending on the athletes role there are different good and bad characteristics.
