Have to give up their Olympic medals.

Pretty tough. I understand they were a team, but when you
personally didn't do anything wrong...

Boy I have mixed feeling about this. Team is a team but they did nothing wrong as you say.

But due to her doping they had an unfair advantage and they won as a team and if one member of a team cheats then I would see it as unfair to the other teams if the remainder of that team were still called winners because they as such had an unfair advantage and didn't win fairly. I can see the point of taking them away. It's tough luck though and I would imagine I would be devastated in such a situation.

I agree that those people who remained faithful shouldn't be punished but the fact of the matter is is that someone within the team cheated which gave them an advantage and that's just quite simply not right....

If your mechanic did an illegal mod to your engine without you knowing then you'd still expect to be disqualified, even though you weren't party to it.
Good to see you around again K.
