From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A Medal is usually a coin-like sculpted object of metal or other material that has been (generally) die-struck with an insignia, portrait or other artistic rendering. A medal may be awarded to a person or organization as a form of recognition for athletic, military, scientific, academic or some other kind of achievement. Medals may also be created to commemorate individuals or events or even as works of artistic expression in their own right. There are also devotional medals, which may be worn as a matter of religious faith. Medals are popular collectible items either as a form of exonumia or of militaria phaleristics. The most common form is round and made of bronze, but they may be produced in any shape desired and of any material suitable for sculpting, molding, casting, striking or stamping. A Medallion is a large medal which may be commemorative or produced as a work of art or souvenir, and occasionally referred to as a “table medal”; in colloquial use, the term Medallion is sometimes used to refer to ornamental jewelry worn as a pendant as part of a necklace.

Its one thing to cheat and quite another to keep on lying about it under oath. Personally I would be willing to forgive her (and the many others like her, Floyd Landis included - sorry Floyd but the evidence speaks against you) if they would simply admit they made a mistake. We all make mistakes in life, and they are only compounded by denying them. Personally I would have more respect for her (and the many others like her) if they would voluntarily give up their medals and admit that it was wrong to cheat.

Furthermore we're all partly to blame because we put so much emphasis on winning… [cont.] Asked by megalomaniac - Fri Oct 5 18:46:37 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yep, I think she should. Personally, I'd have a lot more respect for somebody who admitted they were wrong and made a mistake.
