Whatever happened to tough luck? (you may substitute another 4 letter word)... I mean, I understand it's unfair and all that crap, but really, when did we start using courts to decide sports.
If this is what's in store for athletics around the world, then next they'll have arbitration for the world series or superbowl because of human error. The medals should stand once they are handed to the winner. Unless a participant breaks a rule (doping or cheating) then you are just a sore loser in my opinion.
Life is a bitch, but not everyone gets their medal
