Default Re: This is really bad...

I didn't quite catch the cheating on the first clinch, but the gong show and the muffed start on the 2nd one were ridiculous.

On a bit of another note, perhaps someone more informed about international wrestling than myself can explain a little bit of how the corruption occurs? Does FILA favor certain nations? Do individual officials get paid off by athlets or their delegations? I've noticed on wrestling boards that whenever a Cuban loses in the final, there are allegations that they were bought off as well.

Anyone in the know care to share stories or details of how widespread cheating of this nature is in wrestling?
