lettmon: I hope Switzerland finishes 5th-12th in ice hockey.
I'm truly sorry to inform you, that the swiss female hockey team is already in the semifinals....

lettmon: I just received a reply from bobsleigh federation of russia, sent from iphone xD
I sent them an email earlier today just saying that they cheated and everyone knows that, and this reply says:
Did we cheat in St. Moritz too?

I don't know what that is about xD I guess they had close starting times there.
So now the russians own not only the timekeeper in their own land, but in others too. Yeah..... how comes, they don't win more then?

Whenever you think the conspiracy theories can't get any worse, someone comes to prove you wrong.

I think at this point you are upsetting very dedicated atheletes, and should listen to the rest of the people here.

You've taken co-incidence and contorted that into a supposed fact. Those are hard working people you just emailed, they didn't cheat, as we can explain if you'll give us some time to do so.

I bet you cheated by heating up the ice or something...
I'm just a messenger, I don't intend to try to bring this issue any further. But I saw today how canadian bobsleigh team raced - in start they had good lead over the second russian team but in finish they lost and the driver looked confused because he was sure that they did good and better than the time showed. Trust me you will hear about sochi bobsleigh, it's much bigger than skeleton.

Female hockey team however, I loled.
No disrespect to the OP, but I think it's entirely possible that it is just a coincidence and that it's honestly rather hasty to jump to the conclusion that foul play was involved. Especially since the Russian representative no doubt had a lot of practice on that track.

Ask any professional poker player what their greatest defeat was and they will almost certainly mention a hand that has an astronomically low chance of occurring. Random chance is involved in everything, including professional competition. Just because something is near impossible doesn't mean it is impossible, just highly improbable. Yet, sometimes, the stars will align just right and that something will occur despite the extremely low percentage of it happening. That's just life in general.

Nope. You're a firestarter (trying) fuelling the flames of speculation. The problem is, your arguments hold water like a sieve.

It's the same problem with trust as is with respect. Everyone thinks they deserve it, way too many fail to see that you have to earn it. And you didn't do a good job earning any today, sorry.

.... and now you damage the respect part, too. Way to make you look like a fool - chapeau.

So I get this. You're pissed because your Latvian guy got beaten by the Russians. And because they got improbable times, you figure they are cheating. I find it hard to take you seriously as you already have prejudice against Russia in the first place, calling it the source of all evil.

My shiny Charizard got pokerus without cheating, so why can't the Russians get start times like that?
low rated
Look at the russian http://i4.tiesraides.lv/540x540s/galleries/janis_rubulis/530118429c23b/2014-02-16_1.jpg

Tell me that is how a champion looks. You should have seen him after the race on the pedestal in the flower ceremony, he clearly was ashamed of what happened.

Sending an email with no proof and you weren't trying to escalate things. Yeah that makes perfect sense.

I'm from Canada but who cares that the rider seemed confused. They're steering a freaking coffin that has no electronics in it. It tells them nothing on how they're actually doing.

He almost looks like a Latvian silver medalist. A fate worse than death...

Finally we agree on something.
I highly doubt Russia would risk ruining their reputation by cheating in Sochi. So if a Russian did cheat, then obviously, he or she decided to cheat behind Russia's back.

I'm just glad that you're so hellbent on blaming the Russians that you didn't even notice that we pumped our women's ski jump gold medalist full of helium to make her jump farther.
