Olympic Gymnastic Controversy

Let me ask you a question. Which one would you wanna be remembered as:
a) the guy who is not supposed to win the gold medal but got it because of scoring error
b) the guy who gives back the gold medal he should not have won

Which guy has genuine sportsmanship?
The choice is pretty obvious to me. Of course Paul Hamm thinks otherwise.

[Update] Please check out the comments, which presents a different point of view. I gotta admit he knows the story/background much deeper than I do. One thing we both agree though: FIG, the sports governing body who messed up the scoring, is the real "bad guy."
