What was really dreadfully funny was right up until he went crazy, it was abundently clear what an awesome prospect he actually is. I just hope the mockery doesn't tempt him to say, 'screw this' and return chastened to the United States, never to return.

Ultimately the decision to strip or not rests with.the sports' Governing Body, not the IOC.  So draw your own conclusions.
