The Olympics have always been rigged.

Did you watch the USA / Russian basketball game a few Olympics back? The referees did everything but make the USA team sit on the bench, to make sure the Russians won.

Any sport where there are judges, there has been criticism. Look at gymnastics, and diving. Two more examples of judges tripping over themselves to give the medal to the wrong person.

How this can be corrected, I don't know, but the judges should at least try and be impartial.
