Wherein lies part of the problem. As I understand it, the Korean staff came to the officials immediately, and were told to come back later. Later to them was a couple of days.
Too late.
However, the real point is that no sport changes scores, winners, etc. after the fact.
The idea of the FIG trying to get Hamm to do its dirty work and penalize himself in the action is ludicrous. If they can't govern their sport, they should step aside and let someone else run it.
Hamm should keep his medal proudly. If the FIG wants to award another one, that's their business.
