Scotty Lago was forced to leave the Winter Olympics after photos were released of him, his bronze medal, and a girl suggestively kissing it. Were they the most tasteful pictures? Maybe not. But they weren’t even close to being as offensive as the Olympic Committee made them out to be.
When Scotty returned home he tweeted, “Got home this morning to all my homies. Such a good Olympic experience. Keeping my medal in a safe spot for now haha.”
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt said, “Scotty Lago is a great athlete, but with that comes a responsibility of proper conduct, and his involvement in this situation is not acceptable.” I understand that they want to keep everything prestigious, but I think they are being a little ridiculous. It seems like they are really trying to make an example out of him to all of the other young athletes that compete in the games. Marolt goes on to say, “Scotty realizes his conduct was inappropriate. He has formally apologized and also made a decision to leave Vancouver today.”
