The 1972 U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball Team should have been awarded the Gold Medal because they won the Gold Medal game. But due to actions taken by the IOC Officials, which violated IOC rules, the Russian Team was awarded the Gold Medal. A tragic injustice to the young men on the U.S. Team. For 40 years, the U.S. Team has refused to accept the Silver Medal-a testament to their integrity. We need to correct this mistake and honor the 1972 team.
