Declined medals

Should it be indicated on the list that the 1972 United States men's team refused its silver medals after its loss to the Soviet Union team? The team did not show up for the ceremony following the controversial ending of the gold medal game and to this day the medals remain with the International Olympic Committee.DrBear (talk) 20:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added some sentences about the event, though needs a copy-edit. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]]_{call me Keith} 21:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

U.S real 72 winner

Since DR Jones had no authority to restart the game, should it be posted that the U.S really won the game.Solarsheen (talk) 18:02, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
