Kim Yuna was robbed. Period. Lets take a look at two of the judges: Yuri Balkov -- At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Japan, a taped phone conversation exposed Balkov as trying to initiate a deal with Canadian judge Jean Senft to give higher scores for Ukrainian skaters. He was suspended for just one year. How he wasnt permanently banned already shows the level of corruption and ineptitude among the International Olympic Committee. Alla Shekhovtsova -- Shes the wife of Valentin Piseev, who is the general director of the Figure Skating Federation Of Russia. And lets not forget the technical controller: Aleksandr Lakernik -- He used to be the vice president of the Figure Skating Federation Of Russia. To top it off, the two judges listed above were randomly selected, leaving out potential spots for judges from the United States, South Korea, Sweden, or Great Britain (the judge, in this case, being Diane Stevens, who exposed a corrupt Ukrainian judge a couple of years ago). Yeah, none of this is suspicious AT ALL. The IOC is a joke and an embarrassment.
