What I got out of this whole fiasco (correct me if I'm wrong):

There are procedures in place to take medals away from athletes accused of wrongdoing (drugs), but there are no procedures in place to take medals away if a judge is accused of wrongdoing. Case in point, per MSNBC anchor: Jones, a US boxer in Seoul, was robbed of a gold medal after he clearly defeated his Korean opponent. Years later, a judge admitted taking a bribe (from the Koreans, presumably) to fix the decision, BUT THE MEDAL WAS NEVER TAKEN AWAY FROM THE KOREAN AND GIVEN TO JONES.

The IOC is a sick joke.

This is the dirty little secret isn't it. My perception is that the IOC is eurotrash personified. Look at that flag incident. It didn't have to be a big deal. The IOC made complete fools out of themselves.
