The gold medalist 400 IM American swimmer, Ryan Lochte, was threatened that he would not be given his gold medal during the medal ceremony, if he chose to wear a red, white, and blue grill to honor the Olympians who came before him.  An Olympic official specifically told him that he would not be given his medal if he wore the piece of teeth jewelry.

Do you think that was a little harsh, or should were the officials right for preventing Lochte from wearing the American flag grill in the first place?
