On a side note, I'm happy the French judge willbe thrown out. Who's to say she won't do it again??
A Canadian judge exposed deal making among judges last year. She was expelled for exposing it. The corrupt judge in question was also expelled, but managed to regain accrediation from the ISU and is now judging again. *sigh*
The Olympics can be a lot of bunk. Any judged sport is. In fact, it's becoming harder and harder to see why nations compete at all. A Norwegian stated "In figure skating it's the judging. In bobsledding it's the doping. I'm clean. I have no chance at a medal."
It's really a pity that sport is so corrupt. What does that teach kids? Then again, why are we surprised? Look at how the States won the Olympic bid anyway...
I'm sorry. I just makes me angry to know that the Olympics has sunk this low. Nothing is fair.
