Explain how the medal was stolen by the Americans. Hamm played by the rules. It was not his fault that the judges made a mistake. Nor is it the American Teams.
As I understand it, the Korean team tried to protest, were asked to come back at the end of that day's competition, and waited too long under the rules.
I'm somewhat ambivilent about the Korean getting a gold medal, but certainly don't think Hamm should have to give up his.
