The french judge has admitted to being swayed by pressure she said issued from her own national federation, and has been suspended indefinitely. meanwhile, although the Russian pair get to keep their gold, the Canadian pair are being awarded golds of their own - only the fourth time this has happened in modern (since 1896) olympic history.
Now, if they'll only revisit the theft of the boxing gold medal from Roy Jones. Jr. in 1988 in Seoul, South Korea, after he convincingly pounded Park Si-Hun in the final and was awarded the 'outstanding boxer of the games' award...
