I wonder, with all the money some athletes get from their countries for winning medals (I heard some country awards 300K$US for a gold) whether or not a small group of athletes might ever get together and arrange for the player that would get the most money to end up winning and then split the proceeds between themselves somehow. I'm not at all suggesting that happened here, but you've got to imagine that if athletes have been willing in the past to risk both their integrity and their lives by taking illegal drugs just to win whether they'd be willing to just to trade their integrity for a nice big payoff.
