Well, I'm not arguing with you over that, though...
It's just that there have been many instances in the history of sports in which it was clear that the arbiters were biased in one way or another, but never were people, officials and media making such a big fuss out of it as is the case now, especially considering we're talking about a relatively "small" sport like figure skating (small as in normal media coverage and attention).
That's what surprising me the most. [img]smile.gif[/img]
