Does being a Gold Medal Winner mean that you have to be effusively communicative with the people whom paid $600M to broadcast the games?

NBC’s interview with Shani Davis after he won the gold medal in the 1000 meter skating event was disgusting at best.

I don’t think anyone is obligated to provide the media with an interview (unless contractually obligated, I know that the pros can get dinged for not giving interviews, but I don’t think Olympic Athletes are supposed to qualify as Pros) and I don’t think the media should even attempt to prejudge why an interviewee may or may not be responsive to the interviewer.
