This is getting funnier and funnier.
Who the heck needs daytime soap operas.

Russia should bomb Canada.
Not for this, in particular. Just sort of on principle.
Olympics? Relevent to my life? Don't think so.
To: The_Victor
Of course the Russians are furious. Regardless of the spin they try to put on it, this action will be seen by the rest of the world as an admission by the Olympic Comittee that the Russians didn't earn their gold.

"It went against any moral and ethical norms that exist in sport where athletes, not lawyers, compete against each other on the slopes and in the sports arenas and not in back rooms," Nezvegsky said. As a lawyer, I object to being called a non-athlete.

"Mr Rogge, who has just become IOC president, probably does not understand what he has done for the sports movement for future Olympic Games (news - web sites)," Nezvegsky added. IOW, this will be in the minds of everyone for years to come, and it will be harder for European countries to trade votes - and thats just not right.

"We just want the truth to come out and I think for the future of our sport this had to be fixed." Oh, it had to be "fixed" alright...only they got caught this time.

By far the best comment on the whole mess was by David Pelletier: "Maybe they can give us the bronze too, then we'll have the complete collection!"

Cry me a river...I don't see the Russkies apologizing for the '72 Olympic men's basketball final
