Therefore, he should not be obligated to return the Gold Medal they rightfully awarded him.
If the FIG wants to redeem themselves, they should issue a duplicate medal to the South Korean who would have had the most points.
No need to penalize Paul Hamm for anything he didn't do!

My feelings exactly.
As someone pointed out on another board where this was discussed, did anyone else notice that the other South Korean gymnast is basically getting a free pass in all this? Shouldn't he, then, return the silver because he really didn't earn that, and take the bronze? I haven't heard anyone talk about that.
