how does this actually work?
does someone actually show up at their house and take back their medals? Or are the books just changed and the new winners get their new medals?
for the record, i would not give my medal back

I'd request a new medal made
I wouldn’t want someone else’s medal, especially if they cheated.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

new medals I would think
aren’t they generally engraved on the back with the event and your name? Would kind of necessitate making new ones. Though I would suggest they also want the old ones back so they don’t end up on the black market.
Blame my wife!
Waiting until August 2010
a quick google suggests they are retrieved
In accordance with IOC policy, it is up to the national Olympic committee of the athlete in question to retrieve the medals.

if i was one of the people on that relay that was legitimate runner i would not turn in my medal either
if the ioc came to my home i would tell them i can’t find it. then what would they do?

You could also
just start running really fast. They’d never catch you.
