Olympic judges have been biased for decades, especially the USA.
1960 Olympics. 100 meter butterfly swimming event. The American Lance Larson had a swim time of 55.1 seconds electronically recorded. The Australian behind him had 55.2 seconds. But the judges ruled in favor of the Australian and he got the gold. Then Lance had his time officially recorded as 55.2 to help cover it up.
