NEW YORK: After pleading guilty in federal court on Monday, George Santos offered to return all eleven of his Olympic medals.

"Although it pains me to do so, only by returning my medals can I remove the cloud from the sport I have loved and dominated for so long: gymnastics," he said.

Promising to "continue cheering on my USA teammates just as they cheered me on in Paris," Santos made an emotional plea to his "millions of fans around the world."

"When you think of me, please don't think of George Santos, convicted liar," he said. "Think of George Santos, GOAT."
