While hilarious, New Zealand should still be stripped of all medals in all categories and banned from future competition. Floating a pitiful cheat attempt is no less damning than enacting a successful one.

They won't be, because the Olympics is a corrupt enterprise and they are in favor of this behavior themselves.

The Olympics do not stand as an absolute measure of athletic excellence. They haven't for generations. They are a political organization that financially predates on host countries, leeching funds, infrastructure, and applying wide pressure against them to align with globalist desires, all for the prestige of deigning them with their own presence.

The Olympics should be regarded with the same disgust FIFA is. But as an excuse to tax citizens for a chance to glitz up a section of their country for the world to praise briefly... despots, statists, one-world-order fetishists, and many other types will continue to jump on that forevermore because it is really just that good of an excuse to squeeze what they want out of their plebs.
