In Munich, the 1972 Olympics, the United States basketball team won gold, but to this day it has never been made official.
The final three seconds of the game were replayed three times under questionable rule interpretations, leading to an ultimate victory by the Soviet team. The result of the game is disputed to this day, with widespread allegations of political corruption.
None of the players ever accepted silver medals starting, "If we had won silver, we would have proudly accepted them. But we didn't; we won the gold."
To this day it's known as one of the greatest fiascos in all of sports history.
It's been 52 years. Isn't it time for the IOC to set the record straight?

The Munich 1972 Olympic basketball final is indeed one of the most controversial moments in sports history. The replayed final three seconds left a lasting impact on the integrity of the game. Given the strong allegations of political interference, it seems only fair for the IOC to re-evaluate the match. Correcting Olympic history would not only honor the hard work and talent of the U. S. team but also reinforce a commitment to fairness in sports. This travesty certainly deserves reconsideration after 52 years. It’s time for the IOC to set the record straight.
