Disasterous for the Russian couple? You mean like a prison sentence was disasterous for Tyson? FReepers are the only ones who will remember this in a few months.

This is not going to go away for awhile. Freepers won't be alone here - you should check out the skating message boards. The Russians and Canadians have a lot of loyal fans here and abroad (knowledgeble skating fans)and there are some interesting discussions/debates going on. This might be bigger than the Michelle/Tara issue because of some alleged cheating on the judges part.
