What happens now that Michael Phelps has his medal if they say he didn't win ?

Question

dose he have to give the medal back?

Answer 1

my guess is they would do another ceremony and switch but i dont know

Answer 2

He as to return the medal and they will give it to the rightful person. I don't know if they have another medal ceremony. Surely, Michael won.  You know they will always question greatness.

Answer 3

NBC just reported that Omega (the timing company) and the Olympic rules committee said that after looking at the video, there is enough evidence to support not going through with the appeal.  So Michael gets to keep is medal.
