Out of necessity, Barney Frank has to be the Chairman...

And no way the French get the bronze after all this or Ashcroft will have the Inernational Skating Union board arrested.
To: Wyatt's Torch
Practically unheard of to reverse the decision? So is a judge admitting a fix was in!

Don't know about the allegations, or how they could be proven without signed confessions from the conspirators, but I will make one prediction:
NBC won't be broadcasting the next Olympics.

FOFLOL!!!!!! I gotta go turn this on...
What I heard on the radio today is that the FRENCH judge told "somebody" that she was to "fix" the results in order to have the Russians win the pairs skating and in turn the Italians would "fix" the ice-dancing competition for the French to win.
What a bunch of idiots.

LOLOLOL!!! YES!!
Testimony will only be accepted if sparkly outfits are worn.
To: Wyatt's Torch
We all saw the USA - Soviet Union basketball game; we all know who won; we all know who got the medal.
This will not change anything.

Did you hear that last comment? "...because I haven't even received a formal complaint from the Canadians, the US or most importantly Russia." Most importantly Russia? This guy has his head up his ---. He's a public relations nightmare! Leave it to the French to pour gas on a fire to put it out.
To: Chief Inspector Clouseau
What is it with figure skating? This scandal just might trump the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal. These figure skating events are like soap operas. The WWF must be watching and envious of the storylines.

You have to understand something about the subspecies of Eurotrash beaureaucrat. This is better than Tonya and Nancy because it goes to the heart of a corrupt beauracracy (something that was there even at the time of Lillehammer-Tonya just provided the excuse for otherwise corrupt horsetrading judges to feel better about themselves). Anyhoo, this guy is your standard EU mandarin: "How dare you ask questions of me when you don't even know the procedures..."
This guy would last about thirty seconds in the Bush administration.
Hmmm. Vote-fixing. The FBI got involved in the Tonya-Nancy affair because interstate travel was involved. Any legal eagles here know whether the DOJ can get involved here?
Be Seeing You,
Chris

Promise??????
Tell me why you think that?

These are the people who are telling President Bush he doesn't know how to conduct diplomacy.
Case closed.
To: Howlin
HA! He's saying the "judges can't talk to the press"...why not??? He said, "Zey vill be sanctioned.."
This is hilarious. And if the SOB snorts one more time at us, I'm gonna punch him.

Practically unheard of, I think they gave two diving gold medals a while back when the judges messed up.
To: DoughtyOne
I did! Amazing!
