Hamm Keeps Gold Medal: Thank goodness. The Court of Arbitration of Sport properly ruled today that Olympic gold medalist Paul Hamm will keep his gold medal. I have not yet read the full opinion (which cannot be appealed), but this quote is a good one:

"An error identified with the benefit of hindsight, whether admitted or not, cannot be a ground for reversing a result of a competition."

Indeed.
