    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    He could not DQ himself. He was not and will not in fact be DQd as it is contrary to 34-b(iii).
    He handed the medal back.
    He is still officially the winner. Genuine mistake good rule.

    I had not been aware of the specificity of that rule previously. It's good to know. Thanks for pointing it out.
