The SOI poll was put up on the SOI Official Site on February 12, 2008 and taken down one week later, on February 19, 2008. Johnny Weir won by an overwhelming majority of 80% of the vote. SOI announced their 2008 guest stars (Evan Lysacek and Kimmie Meissner) two days later, February 21, and made no mention of their poll at that time or since. They added Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto as guest stars the next week.
There are simply no facts at all to back up the allegation that the poll was taken to determine who the guest stars should be on the tour more than a year later. Neither SOI or any other tour contracts skaters a year in advance (due to scheduling and other concerns such as injuries and fluctuating status, skaters are generally booked for tours very close to when the tours actually begin). There is no reason that SOI would have been asking fans to vote on who they should book in over a year, not knowing who would be available or at the top of their game then.
