Joesitz said:Well, not really. Piseyev is Speedy's right hand man in the ISU. He has influcence but affecting outcome of a competition is not proveable. Just a theory.
The Americans have a lot of money to influence. Do they? Just wondering.
Switzerland has to do it the hard way yet it did get a silver medal. Lucky.
Poor Mexico. No chance in sight.

Basicaly the countries that have more fans, are able to put more money into the sport are more likely to get favorable scoring. They dont neccessarily have to make deals. How is that unreasonable, ISU people want the countries that put money into the sport to see their skaters doing well, and understanding that most fans tend to be partial to their own, anything pretty good usually has to be in the top 5 minimum to satisfy fans.
