They asked him to give it up a few days ago. He said he'd do whatever the FIG decided was right. So they tried to send him a letter via the USOC (who wouldn't deliver it b/c it was basically a load of hooey!) saying they think it would be a great display of sportsmanship and Fair Play if he handed it over to the Korean. When he said no, they claimed he was going back on what he said originally. Hamm then explained he MEANT he would do what the FIG decided. If they decided he had to give it up, he would, but he certainly won't do it because they are "asking" him too. Good for him!
You know, how many times are football games been won and lost because of a touchdown that really wasn't over the line, or a penalty that wasn't called. They don't go back after watching the tape and say "Sorry so and so, you have to give up the National Championship b/c after some thought, we f*cked up".
