Hey Sisterplum - they really DID say that - the Russians are blaming NBC and the other media for fueling the controversey - you should have heard them on 'Today' this morning (funnily enough, they said this on 'CBS This Morning')
OptimistPrime - no, the athletes were not part of the scandal - but don't think they haven't been aware that this crap has been going on for years - there was just nothing that they could do about it. This just happens to be the first time the judges got caught with their pants around their knees ...
I couldn't be more proud of Jamie and David - the class and dignity that they have conducted themselves has made this whole country proud - gold, silver, or bronze!!
At least we got our butts kicked in hockety in this round and not the medal round - what a horrid 2nd period !
