^As I've said before, the issue at hand is bigger than whether Yuna Kim should get the OGM, or if she gives a flying rat's *** about Sochi, or if the KSU cares. The issue that people should care about is how Sochi brought to light possible flaws with the current judging and scoring system that allowed for this kind of controversy (or at least, that's what I'm most concerned about), and how they should be addressed. Kim, Sotnikova, etc. are just conduits for this larger issue.
An apt analogy would be the ongoing Roman Polanski case. It's been years since he committed his rape, his victim has moved on and has publicly expressed that she forgives him and wants to drop the case, but yet the judicial system is still intent on prosecuting him, and people care enough to be out for his blood. Why? Because the case isn't just about the victim anymore, but is about a crime that Polanski committed against society (legal principle). The same logic extends to this situation.
