Hey :-) Thanks for that last link! That really was proper coverage. Yes, Anissina certainly does seem to be in big trouble :-( I'm sorry to hear she might be so deeply involved. And yes it really is a scandal nobody would have dreamed of! I still want proper coverage of it, not just an article that tells be there's s scandal and nothing else though. On a positive note.... well I guess you can call it that... I never would have dreamed something related to figure skating would be on the first pages of Polish newspapers! ;-)  But actually the coverage in today's Wyborcza was pretty good. They did an interview with Anna Sierocka, a Polish judge, who voted for B&S, she says she never heard of Tokhtakhounov and that she voted the way she thought was right. She also mentions the Chinese judge, who also voted for B&S and says she thinks it's pretty unlikely he could have had anything to do with it either. She also said he was so stressed about the pairs event that he got sick.   "Over the years there have been rumors that two members of a world-class ice dance team don`t even talk to each other off-ice. I wonder if that`s true and who the team could be."   If you're suggesting it could be A&P, I doubt it. I've seen them at press conferences they seem to relate to one another ok, they do admitt they're not the best of friends, but they have stayed together after turning pro, which would indicate the relationship isn't that bad. But actually I haven't heard of those rumours. I have heard that Grishuk/Platov hated one another, maybe that's who you mean?   Monika P.S. I'm leaving tomorrow, so this is probably my last e-mail for some time.

Russian officials don't believe the story - also quotes from Sikhuarlidze and Averbukh:
