The Canadian had a very easy program to skate.....although I certainly couldn't do it.......BUT, I think they are crybabies! What a presendence this sets for others who don't win as big as they think they should!

You're probably the only one along with the Russians who feel this way. And what should the precedent be? The precedent should be that if you attempt to corrupt the judging there will be a price to be paid. Sounds like a good precedent to me.

It certainly should be, but it's apparently not so in skating. The judges that were caught "tapping their feet" to signal each other and "suspended" were judging internation competitions within months of their suspension. Contrast that to the case of baseball and Pete Rose.
