He has talked to the French judge ( I think)
To: codebreaker
That does it. If the corruption goes that high, Canada, the USA, and ever other nation that want FAIR competition should pull their skaters out right now.

Why couldn't they get someone who speaks better English.....or maybe that's part of the plan....Clinton Speak
To: section9
And the big question becomes -- will the French surrender.
Note to future judges who plan to fix skating results: French not good in a war or a conspiracy.
To: Grig
No medal change. It's over and this is just spin.

Total bollocks, of course. That's five days from now. They're hoping that the whole controversy will be swept under the rug. I tell ya folks, another figure skating controversy, another scam....
What this Olympics needs is a good dose of .....
HUBCAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a huge effing scam. I hope to God that someone goes to the Department of Justice about this. Typical Olympic highhandedness. I will not answer to you, I will answer to the ISU Committee. Now sit down, foolish American reporter!
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I think you have a plan. BOYCOTT WATCHING THE OLYMPICS - IT'S RIGGED AND THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN!
To: spycatcher
Not in the rule to use an alternate judges marks.
To: Dog
That's about right. Spinning as we type...
This guy could have worked for Clinton. How do you hold a press conference on this topic then spend the whole time talking about your great organization and it's history? The reporter's questions are basicly avoided.
"Have you spoken to the judge involved? What was your conversation." "Well I have talked to certain people. I can't tell you who. And I can't tell you what we discussed. I will report to our committee, not you."
Just your typical beaurocratic paper pusher, charge deflector, truth defuser.
To: Grig
I'd like to see that happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath since we are the host nation.
To: codebreaker
No relation between the ice dancing results and the figure skating.
Nothing to see hear.

The way to solve this problem: at the final ceremonies, the Russians give their gold metal to the Canadians.
To: mystery-ak
They can't revoke the results. Case Closed.
To: blu
This guy should get a great big rasberry salute.
To: mystery-ak
Didn't the judge SAY they bargained for votes? Why is this guy saying there is nothing here.

The American reporters are really starting to bear down on the Euro, he's getting P.O.'ed
To: Lazamataz
I think this guy is from the International Skating Union (ISU). The IOC needs to step in here. Skating is being tarnished by this, but so is the Olympic movement.
The IOC runs the games, and I don't see why they can't overrule the ISU, and award a gold medal to the Canadians. Even if they let the Russians keep theirs.
All this predicated, of course, that the allegations of fixing by the judges hold up. There is just no way that the ISU can state, without reservation, that the result was correct when collusion between judges is proven.
In addition, the IOC should suspend figure skating from the next Olympics, giving the ISU a chance to apply for reinstatement once it has it's house in order. THAT would send a message.
To: Freedom'sWorthIt
And people get all bent out of shape because "rasslin" is fake... at least they are honest enough to admit the fix is in.
To: codebreaker
IOC = WWF
