Crawford gave his medal to Martina, who finished faster, but was disqualified after it was determined that he briefly crossed into another lane.

He gave him the medal shortly after the Olympics, but it has just been made public now.

2	I JUST read this a few minutes ago. A huge Congratulations to Mr. Crawford, for he deserves all the respect in the world for his gesture. Too bad the Olypics committee gets all wrapped up in rules and loses site of the true meaning of the Olympics.

Congrats to Mr Crawford......Now...... big ups would go to Martina if he were to give the medal back!!!!

He realized his dream of having a medal...... but he does not deserve it, inasmuchas, he was disqualified.

So he should, in the same vein of sportsmanship displayed by Mr Crawford, return the medal to Crawford.

Rules are rules you know. Running fast was not the only criteria for winning the race or the medal.
