How so?
The Australian, Peter Norman, also wore a human rights badge on his shirt during the ceremony to show his support to the two Americans

I am not sure that any of them were stripped of their medals.
He got banned (they were all banned) and the next Olympics did not feature and Australian sprinters, but they all kept their positions as I understand it.
I just tried to look it up, but became caught up in the fact that Carlos and Smith were Pallbearers at his funeral.

Was gonna say this.
Because Chas was a bit of a wanker, let's face it.

No worries.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos were pallbearers at the funeral of Peter Norman. Human beings can be incredible sometimes.

I never knew that
You are utterly correct.

Wootastic!
I'm speechless. I would like to thank first my gerbil, Gerald, who has been a treasured companion over the last six months, and very understanding when i've turned to him for advice.
Obviously my cats, Devastation Prime, and Destruction Three.
And it would be rude to leave out the sage advice of my most recent companion, the spider who has been attached to the ceiling for three days directly above this desk, I have tentatively named, Cyril. Though I think Cyril may actually be dead, given it really hasn't moved much at all. We communicate on the astral plane
I am deeply honoured by this award.
Respect. World peace. Intergalactic Love.
Jahled

Have a woo for that very important gesture
I can't believe I only just realised tonight those two were expelled from the 1968 Olympic games for doing that, one of the most symbolic and powerful images of the twentieth century
