Darvond: To be honest, I'm not surprised. I realize I should be, but somehow I'm not surprised at Russia's actions.

Shaolin_sKunk: There's not even any proof of cheating, the OP's just jumping to conclusions because he doesn't understand probability very well.
And because he's butthurt that his country's athlete only came in second...

wpegg: What is the range?

Randalator: The first three racers varied within the range of 1-2/100 in their starting times. Like scoring a 4.57 in the first heat and 4.58 in the second.
More like 1-4/100
Russia is cheating in bobsleigh now too :D

They cheated in basketball in '72 don't forget.
So how exactly does one cheat in that sport?

By placing banana peals in the starting area to make the competitors slip, obviously.

It's actually allowed by Olympic regulations provided you twirl an appropriately large mustache as you do it.
people actually watch the winter Olympics?
I just realized that the German athlete only came in ninth. That's definitive proof that the eight before him are cheating cheaters who cheat because math!

They bought the time takers? Also there is a theory that they are changing the temperature of the ice (pipes in the ice).
I always knew Putin was a necromancer, and now it's finally confirmed...

Bought the time takers? That sounds a bit over the top, no? Aren't they some sort of officials?

And wouldn't others notice if the temperature of the ice suddenly changes?
Latvia has 3 medals in Sochi so far, if we divide that with the population Latvia is second in the world after Slovenia.

Of course they noticed, that's why this theory exists in the first place.

The temperature wouldn't change quickly enough anyway. In order to secure ideal conditions for their athlete they would also provide ideal conditions for a couple of athletes starting right before or after him...which incidentally are his strongest opponents in the competition.

Even twin Hitlers would notice that this doesn't make any sense despite SCIENCE!
