That's obviously the reason for the auction. I wonder, if they took all the Gold medals back from their contestants too? It wouldn't surprise me, if they did.

They'll have to sell a lot of merchandise to get back the $43 billion they spent on the Games (not counting the $30 billion they supposedly spent on infrastructure). You could probably fit a few people in Yao Ming's 8-foot-plus bed!
