Do they not coat or treat the medals in some way to prevent this from happening, or is this just some weird fluke with this one medal? For all the egregious ways the IOC wastes money, I feel like the actual medals, themselves, would be one of the last places they'd cut corners.

Could it be that the protection can't withstand exposure to alcohol? Just a thought. :P

That would be a tremendous oversight.
