I'm doing a research paper on the illustrious career of well known athlete Jim Thorpe and whether or not he should have had his medals from the Olympics stripped. Also whether he should have had them given back or continue to be stripped from.
 * Topic Title **

=__QUESTIONS__=
 * How many medals did Jim Thorpe earn?

 What made him lose his medals? Did he deserve to lose his medals? How did that impact people that looked up to him, or knew about him? Who decides if it’s just or not to take away his medals? What other sports/event did he do? How did he do in them? Any other interesting facts or information involving his life or career?
