[edit] 1910

I removed the whole 1910 section for obvious reasons (scandal, yes; Olympic Games in 1910, no, so it's off-topic then, I should say). More checking to be done. --Wernher 04:03, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Not scandals

I have removed the boycott information, as boycotts are not scandals and in any case the subjects are better handled elsewhere. I have also removed the information about the 1996 bombing, as that too was not a scandal. Tragic, yes. Scandal, no. Prince of Canada t | c 05:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

What was the purpose of the name change? The page title seem to fit just fine.--DanteAgusta (talk) 07:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1998 Winter Olympics

Wasn't there some sort of scandal involving ice dancing at the 1998 Winter Olympics? See the following source: OLYMPICS: FIGURE SKATING; Ice Dancers Struggle To Prove Legitimacy. At the link, The New York Times states: "In ice dancing, concerns about fairness are nothing new. At the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, a judge in the dance event tape-recorded another judge trying to preordain the results. Dick Pound, a prominent International Olympic Committee official, said soon afterward that ice dancing should be stripped of its status as an Olympic event unless it could clean up the perception that its judging is corrupt." I am not that familiar with this topic, so if anyone wants to add this, please do so. Thanks. (64.252.124.238 (talk) 04:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC))
