Hello,

Smith and Carlos never had their medals revoked.

Source: Canadian Broadcasting Co., "Mexico City 1968: The World is
Watching," http://archives.cbc.ca/400d.asp?id=1-41-1289-7330&wm6=1.

The IOC recognizes Smith and Carlos as medalists.

Source: IOC, "Medal Winners Search,"
http://www.olympic.org/uk/athletes/results/search_r_uk.asp.

I hope this answer meets your needs. If not, please request clarification.

Hello lsid1210.

I'm pretty sure that if their medals had been restored to them it
would have been mentioned in this article.

"Distant fists return
Carlos and Smith, whose victory-stand protest is an indelible Olympic
moment, are 2nd fiddle to fashion"
