I love that the Romanian who got Raducan's medal on one of the events--was it Amanar?--gave it to Raducan back home in Romania. But yes, it always bothers me that they get people for cold medicine, which is clearly inadvertent on the part of the athlete, and they don't seem to pay attention to the muscle-building drugs. One of the cruelest ones, which I mentioned earlier, was Rick DeMont, a swimmer in 1972, who was stripped of his medal for an allergy medicine. Years later, the national swimming board proved that it was an innocent mistake, and the IOC still refused to hear any of it. Never mind reinstating the gold, they wouldn't even admit DeMont's innocence. Yet four years later they gave the entire East German swimming team a pass on scads of gold medals, and it's known now that most of them were due to terrible chemical interference with the girls, and no measures were taken to adjust the medal records. I guess the IOC cares more about tidiness than anything else.
