SCANDAL! Rulings

Two important items to review:

(1) Submitted by Craig: http://olympics.thestar.com/2008/article/481950. Basically, a Canadian taekwondo competitor suspects that the judges purposely failed to score her as they should have, causing her to lose her match. One of the judges happens to be Chinese and the Canadian contingent feels that this judge may have influenced the match scoring to help set up a Chinese competitor in the next round. Moosemoose thinks, however, that it would be difficult for one judge to convince the other 3 to go along with such a dastardly plan (unless they were threatened with reeducation - see below). This is just one of those sports where the human judge factor leaves the results open to conspiracy theories.

Official ruling: No scandal

(2) Blingbling's article about protesters being sent to work camp (see post below). This is sketch, sketch, SKETCHY! Did you see how adorable those two grannies are?? After committing to allow peaceful demonstrations, this one is just plain wrong.

Official ruling: SCANDAL!
