Regardless of anyone's knowledge of referees, it's pretty obvious that in an international contest between nations on the world stage, having officials from a nation competing is a conflict of interest. You can't remove your bias just because you're at the Olympics.... Or because you're a "good referee". Further, not a single person would make the same argument about any professional sporting event for equally obvious reasons.

Additionally, there will always be the question and doubt and accusations.
