^^ You're not getting my point. This thread is about a technical panel. If fans of the sport are worried about who's making the TECHNICAL calls at the biggest event, the sport is in deep trouble. And this sport is not in its early stage of development.
Sure, there are controversies and wrongdoings in other sports as well, but you don't see their fans discuss at length in apprehension on who will be in charge of making the calls. Of course influenced calls or result riggings can happen nonetheless, but they are PROHIBITIED and penalized. Can we say the same disciplinary action was taken on the results of, say, 2012 NHK Trophies ladies singles, even when a bunch of commentators cried out "injustice"?
