I don't think that this kid should have to give back the medal either. Then who does it go to? The second place? and then they would in turn sent the second place to third ect. I mean all of our kids at one point in time or another have had a bad call made or in some way may have been so called cheated out of a win, and never was a medal sent back. I know these kids are novice but learning to lose is part of this sport even if it isn't a fair loss. And afterall, the father did come forward and admited his fault. I feel that there have been several lessons learned here and I don't belive taking back a medal will fix anything or teach any lessons. The problem would have had to been fixed at the time not after the match or especially after the tournament!
