I read in the paper this morning that the IOC are going to do an investigation of this incident. I also read that the celebration took place after all the spectators had left the arena and that the incident was reported to the IOC by a member of the media. It looks like people really are making a big deal out of nothing and that the IOC members really don't have a life. After all, one of the most heinous crimes that one can commit is to celebrate a win in a sports competition.
