International Gymnastics Federation asks Paul Hamm to give back gold medal.

In a dispute over scores that has turned into a political squabble, the head of the International Gymnastics Federation suggested in a letter to Hamm that giving the all-around gold medal to South Korea’s Yang Tae-young “would be recognized as the ultimate demonstration of fair play by the whole world.”

This reminds me of Eliot Spitzer asking Dick Grasso to give back $100 million dollars of salary that had already been paid out.

I think the magic words were “pretty please.”
