I honestly don't know. Is this a sporting event like the SuperBowl, or something akin to the WWF? I mean, this isn't the first time a figure-skating judge has made a questionable ruling.

I think this is the first time that one has admitted to an official that there was a fix. Russia is pretty powerful in the world of skating which is big bucks.
I can't figure out why she admitted it but this will fuel the jokes about french surrender for a long time to come :-) I dont know if it is illegal but I would say that if it is true then the skaters have reason to file a lawsuit.

You are correct the pairs and the Ladies Programs are the 'Super Bowl' of the Winter Olympics.
There was talk of this eastern bloc voting last time when Nancy Kerrigan lost to the drunken lush Oksana Baiul.
