Time to remove all the 'judgement' sports out of the olympics.

If you jump higher, or farther, throw farther, lift more, or cross a finish line first, then it qualifies.

Help stomp out ice dancing, synchronized swimming, and rythmic gymnastics.  

And while we are at it,  let's get rid of the different styles of swimming too... just get to the other side first.

I'm kinda curious to know which laws make it illegal to try and "fix" a sporting event.

NM... wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bribery...

The most funny thing is that French judge already said she was bribed by Canadians to say that she was bribed by Russians...

The theatre of absurdity all sold out...

it's not a new scandal , it's the same one, the french have arrested the guy who set up the fix, US wants to extradite him to USA , they say more arrests may follow.

and boroda , don't be so defensive , not all russians are saints
