Like I was saying the other day, that the people at the Olympics arent really representatives of their countries. (A few may be genuine, but look at this..)



Athletics: Suspended judge lives near Hamm

ATHENS - The Colombian judge suspended for giving South Korea's Yang Tae-young an incorrect score in the Olympic men's all-round event lives in gold medallist Paul Hamm's home state, International Gymnast magazine reported on Sunday.

"IG has verified that Colombian judge Oscar Buitrago Reyes, one of three officials suspended by the FIG (world gymnastics body) on August 21, has lived and worked in Ohio for several years," the magazine's website said on Sunday.

The website of Ohio's Gymnastics World lists an Oscar Buitrago as a girl's team coach. Phone calls to the gym were not answered on Sunday.



How does a man who lives and works in Ohio become a "columbian" judge at the olympics?
