While I agree with your sentiment, ie: really he didn't win or change any results, I am interested in know what would happen.

The consiquences of doping should be the same for all, no matter where the finish in the standings.
No, I just think that this is much ado about nothing in this particular case.

Hockey is kind of a unique situation at the Winter Olympics, I dont know, maybe they should consider dope-testing these guys before the games?

It really sounds like the rest of the Latvian team is getting a pass.
And this particular instance the difference is negligible.
