Steve, Wasn't it the American boxing team that got screwed at the hands of the judges at the Olympics in Seoul? Or is that too long ago to count?

My memory is extremely hazy, but I thought it was a Korean boxer who was screwed over by the judges. Even sat in the middle of the ring for 45 minutes in protest. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In any case, I believe the Korean team when they say they raised the objection at the competition, only to be told to wait until afterwards. Then when they did that, they were told it's too late.

But I also believe Paul Hamm who said that Yang Tae Young should have also been deducted for other mistakes he made during the routine, but wasn't. Like I said before, it's not really fair to focus on one part of the judging but not the rest of it. Kind of like Gore wanting to focus only on the Democrat counties back in Florida 2000.
