Fix Our Mess, Please

OK, the whole Olympic gymnastic judging fiasco is officially lapsing into insanity. The latest twist is that the international gymnastics government body is asking (not ordering) American Paul Hamm to return his gold medal in an "ultimate demonstration of fair play." Hamm has been silent, but US officials have given the governing body the finger, in essence telling them to stand up and correct their own mistakes (or accept that human error is a part of all sport and just move on). While I agree that Hamm turning over his gold medal would be the "ultimate demonstration of fair play," I don't think it would be just. But, if the powers that be want to bring some more pressure to bear, just unleash one of those welcoming Greek crowds on the Americans. That should do the trick.
