I was thinking as I posted on the "cheating" thread, how many cheating scandals were there even before the new system?
I have heard of only three: the 2002 scandal, some judge tapping his foot an an ice dancing competition (to tell the other judges what to score) and a supposed deal between the East Germans and British that led to Linda Fratianne's downfall (well, fall to silver, anyway).
I said on the other thread that I think judges could still sort of get together and set scores if they wanted even today, but I'm wondering now how common it was even in the good/bad old days.
Does anyone know of any other results that were supposedly a result of collusion and not just genuine differences of taste or opinion?
