The only time an athlete should return a medal is if they are caught cheating.
It's not their fault the judges screwed up and shouldn't be penalized for a judges mistake.
But problems like this are why I feel that all judged sports should be taken out of the olympics. Gymnastics, synchro, figure skating, rythmic gymnastics, wrestling and boxing should all be gone. It's too subjective and every year there is controversy and corruption scandals. They need to be out because I don't think the problems can be fixed.
