Perfect solution--I had the same thoughts myself. Just don't award the Gold--to anyone (yet)! USA and Japan can receive what they earned; ROC must wait, likely for a few months, to be awarded 1)nothing, as ROC in total is DQed and NOBODY gets the Gold, 2) Gold, as AV's sample B test results prove negative or the test is somehow negated, or 3) Bronze, which would of course mean that both USA and Japan receive upgraded medals because ROC's points would be refigured when Kamila's team contributions get dropped.I don't imagine it has been done before (or is even allowed?!), but I think only the Silver and Bronze team medals should be awarded. Those athletes shouldn't be deprived of their Olympic moment because the top finishers didn't play by the rules. I'm sure it won't happen, just wishful thinking on my part.
I think 1) will be the most likely outcome, 2) will be far less likely, but possible, and 3) not impossilbe, but nearly so. Guess we'll see what happens!
