I assume this belongs on the Olympic board rather than the Back Room. Next should be the 1972 U.S. basketball team.



Might add Rick Demont, Shirley Babashoff and other US

swimmers. It's farcical that Demont was deprived of his gold because he took asthma medicine and members of the East German Chemical team are declared clean.
All right! One of my personal athletic heroes.
