IOC To Launch Probe Into Chinese Olympic Gymnastics Team - Page 4
I can disagree with the rule that tells me I have to go a certain MPH on a certain stretch of road, since my car is super cool and faster than my neighbor's, and I can surreptitiously break that rule every chance I get. But sooner or later I'll get caught and punished. Why? Because I broke the rules. Rules are rules whether we agree with them or not and if we break them we will pay the consequences.
The IOC asked Paul Hamm to return his medal after their judges made a mistake. The IOC made Sale and Pelletier share a gold medal with the Russians when a judging scandal was unearthed. The IOC was going to take the word of China (well-known for their openness and truthfulness) and hope this all blew over. Yeah, fat chance. Way to underestimate teh powah of de internets!
