His decision has subsequently put thousands of people out of work. If an Olympic athlete wins a gold medal and then performs badly it doesn't cost anybody anything. Trying to make a comparison is just silly. Fred Goodwin should be stripped of his knighthood because he gambled with ABN Amro and lost.
