video of his walking off.  http://www.wjno.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=244038&article=4097063

They kicked out Tommie Smith and John Carlos in 68 and in 72 Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett got booted for inapproiate behavior..... curious to see if anything happens.

Even if he did get screwed, a d-bag way to deal with it.

IOC stripped him of his bronze medal. Way to go, IOC, for recognizing extremely bad sportsmanship!

No kidding.  Take the medal and file a protest afterwards.  Stomping off isn't going to help his case.
