I would say no. They didn't do anything wrong and probably still win a gold with the U.S.'s next best runner.

I would say yes. It sucks and is horrible, but she was the best runner, and replacing the best runner in the world with the 5th best runner in the US doesn't ensure a gold medal at all.

I'm really talking out of my ass right now because I can't recall the race but in general, but in relay type races that I can remember it seems the U.S. seem to win them all going away.

Should the Yankees forfeit their 2005 AL East pennant?

The Mets the 2006 NL East pennant?

The Chargers their 2006 AFC West title?

The Patriots their 2005 and 2006 AFC East titles?

My guess is that they'll handle it similar to the Figure skating thing a few years ago. Give the 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams a medal up but let the 3 remaining US women keep their medals.

Its a nasty situation.

Weren't two of the other runners later busted for performance enhancing drugs as well?
