I watched this at work tonight and I'm sorry, I believe sporting events are "fixed", as in I knew the Seahawks would win the Superbowl because it was all over UTube...

But these two American skaters from Detroit had a connection, or something along that line and it was undeniable. My co-workers were also in awe. White and Davis were beautiful together, and deserved the highest score. I didn't see who skated after them.

LOL, in SETI?

That aside, cheating is among the most detestable things we can do internationally. I mean, other than blowing up wedding caravans, and extraordinary rendition, and giving latin americans syphilis. But yea, other than that....cheating sucks the worst.

In all seriousness, I don't think I am surprised to hear this. Corruption exist in every power structure.

So the French .. who were actually caught cheating .. are throwing around accusations with no evidence at all?

I would BE MORE surprised to learn that someone had not conspired to cheat or hadn't cheated. How sad is that? There is always talk about this during any kind of sporting event including each and every Olympic event ever held. Why anyone "feels like a winner" when they have cheated is so far beyond me.... I don't know why you would bother. But people do.

Nobody in the world would be surprised to hear that the US conspired to cheat or actually did cheat at ANYTHING I don't think. I certainly wouldn't be.

Cheating, lying, stealing ... indirect harm. And yet, the ISU had no comment.

People train their butts off for the Olympics. For many of them it's their one chance for athletic glory.

I saw this happening a long time ago and lost all interest in The Games.

So one anonymous drunk,disgruntled says fix and immediate international conspiracy!Add the usual ATS blowhard reactionary commentary=completely zero.

The Olympic games are nothing but a tool and a sinecure .....propaganda and cakes and circuses what easy dupes we are.....pfffft!
