Dr. Jacques Rogge, the president of the IOC, basically told the FIG (diplomaticallly, of course) to take a flying f*ck at a rolling donut.
Originally, the USOC was amenable to the issuing of a second gold medal for the South Korean, but when the FIG insisted on Hamm returning his medal 'in the interest of fair play' (cough-bullsh*t-cough) that idea was swiftly thrown into the trashcan.
BTW, it's the IOC that issues the medals; the FIG administers and judges the sport in the Games. So the IOC was in the right anyway.
