March 16 1994 - In Portland, Oregon, Tonya Harding pleads guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution for trying to cover-up an attack on figure skating rival Nancy Kerrigan. She is fined $100,000 and banned from the sport.from wikipedia
What two women who were trying to make the US Olympic team became involved in a criminal scandal?
Possibly that was figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. Harding's then husband, Jeff Gillooly, and bodyguard Shaun Eckardt arranged for Kerrigan to be attacked just prior to the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer to get her out of the way so Harding could have a better chance at winning. The attacker, a man by the name of Shane Stant, clubbed Kerrigan in the knee with a metal baton after a Kerrigan practice session in Detroit in January, 1994. Kerrigan's injury was not serious and she recovered in time to compete in the Olympics where she won the silver medal. Harding finished well out of medal contention.
Controversial incidents that have occurred during the Olympics?
* U.S. athlete Jim Thorpe was stripped of his gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon after it iwas learned that he played professional minor league baseball three years earlier. In solidarity, the decathlon silver medalist, Hugo Wieslander, refuses to accept the medals when they are offered to him. The gold medals were restored to Thorpe in 1983, 30 years after his death. * After winning the silver in equestrian dressage, the Swede Bertil Sandström was demoted to last for clicking to his horse to encourage it. He asserted that it was a creaking saddle making the sounds. * The I.O.C. expelled American Ernest Lee Jahnke, the son of a German immigrant, for encouraging athletes to boycott Hitler's Berlin Games. He was replaced by United States Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage, who supported the Games. * In the cycling match sprint final, German Toni Merkens fouled Dutchman Arie van Vliet. Instead of disqualification, Merkens was fined 100 Reichsmarks and kept the gold. * The three East German competitors in the women's luge event were disqualified for illegally heating their runners prior to each run. * In protest against the New Zealand rugby team's tour of South Africa, Tanzania led a boycott of 22 African nations after the IOC refused to bar New Zealand. Some of the teams withdrew after the first day. * Although approximately half of the 24 countries which boycotted the 1976 Summer Olympics participated in these, the Games were disrupted by another boycott, led by the United States. 65 countries withdrew from the Games in protest of the 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. Eighty nations participated, the lowest number since 1956. * In the wake of the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, 14 Eastern Bloc countries including the Soviet Union, East Germany and Cuba, boycotted these Olympics (the USSR announced its intention not to participate on May 8, 1984). The boycott influenced a large number of events that were normally dominated by the absent countries. * After the mass boycotts of the Olympics in 1976, 1980 and 1984, the Seoul Games were again boycotted, led by North Korea and followed by Cuba, on the basis of South Korea's refusal to co-host the Olympics with North Korea, which rejected all compromise. However it was an early, visible triumph of nordpolitik that no other Communist nations boycotted the Games despite being allies of North Korea. * Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal for the 100 metres when he tested positive for stanozolol after the event. * In a highly controversial 3-2 judge's decision, South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun defeated American Roy Jones Jr., despite Jones pummeling Park for three rounds, landing 86 punches to Park's 32. Allegedly, Park himself apologized to Jones afterwards. One judge shortly thereafter admitted the decision was a mistake, and all three judges voting against Jones were eventually suspended. Most observers still believe the judges were either bribed or otherwise coerced to vote for the local fighter by Korean officials. However, the official IOC investigation concluding in 1997 found no wrongdoing, and the IOC still officially stands by the decision. A similarly controversial decision went against American Michael Carbajal. These incidents led Olympic organizers to establish a new scoring system for Olympic boxing. * Jeff Gillooly, the ex-husband of figure skater Tonya Harding, arranges for an attack on her closest rival, Nancy Kerrigan, prior to the start of the Games. Both women compete, with Kerrigan winning the silver and Harding doing very poorly. Harding was later banned for life. * Romanian Andreea Răducan became the first gymnast to be stripped of a medal after testing positive for pseudoephedrine, a banned drug. Răducan, 16, took Nurofen, a common over-the-counter medicine, to help treat a fever. The Romanian team doctor who gave her the drug in two cold medicine pills was expelled from the Games and suspended for four years. The gold medal was finally awarded to Răducan's team mate Simona Amânar, who had obtained silver. Răducan was allowed to keep her other medals, a gold from the team competition and a silver from the vault. * A number of I.O.C. members are forced to resign after it is uncovered that they have accepted inappropriately valuable "gifts" in return for voting for Salt Lake City to hold the Games. : Further information: 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal * Dual gold medals are awarded in pairs figure skating, to Canadian pair David Pelletier and Jamie Salé and to Russian pair Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze after allegations of collusion among judges. * Three cross-country skiers are disqualified after blood tests indicate the use of darbepoetin,. The skiers are Johann Mühlegg of Spain, and Larissa Lazutina and Olga Danilova of Russia. Following a December 2003 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the I.O.C in February 2004 withdraws all the doped athletes' medals of the Games, amending the result lists accordingly. * Short-track speedskating: Korean skater Kim Dong-Sung was disqualified for cross-tracking as he crossed the finish line of the men's 1500 meter final. This disqualification handed the gold to American Apolo Anton Ohno even though Ohno was decisively beaten by Kim. Some Korean fans alleged the decision was made in retaliation by the USOC for the controversial 1988 judge's decision giving Korean boxer Park Si-Hun a gold medal at the expense of American Roy Jones Jr. : 2004 Summer Olympics * Kenyan boxer David Munyasia tested positive for cathine and was subsequently banned from competing by the IOC. * Greek baseball players Andrew James Brack tested positive for stanozolol and teammate Derek Nicholson tested positive for diuretics during a pre-Olympic drug test.

He had qualified for the final after finishing in 4th place in his semifinal of the Men's 400 metres. * Colombian cyclist María Luisa Calle lost her bronze medal after testing positive for heptaminol, however the Colombian Olympic Committee successfully appealed the decision. In November 2005 she was reinstated as bronze medalist due to a testing error. * Irish showjumper Cian O'Connor's horse, Waterford Crystal, tested positive for fluphenazine and zuclophenthixol months after receiving a gold medal. The subsequent investigation was hampered by several suspicious events. When O'Connor requested a second test, the horse's B urine sample was stolen enroute to a laboratory. Documents about another horse belonging to O'Conner were stolen in a break-in at the Equestian Federation of Ireland's headquarters. Finally, in the spring of 2005, O'Connor was stripped of his gold medal. * Ron Bensimhon, a Canadian spectator of the three meter synchronized diving competition, mounted the springboard and belly flopped into the pool.

However, no incidents of refused admissions stemming from these guidelines were reported. * The officiating in swimming and gymnastics was called into question several times. * Hungarian fencing official Josef Hidasi was suspended for two years by the FIE after committing several errors during an Italy-China match. * Canadian men's rowing pair Chris Jarvis and David Calder were disqualified in the semifinal round after they crossed into the lane belonging to the South African team of Donovan Cech and Ramon di Clemente and in doing so, according to the Australians, interfered with their progress. The Canadians appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. * Dae Sung Lee, who was dismissed as the head coach of the US Taekwondo Team, sued the US Taekwondo Union and the US Olympic Committee alleging his dismissal related to his Korean heritage. His case was dismissed by US district Judge Susan Mollway. * In the women's 100m hurdles, world champion and favorite Perdita Felicien of Canada stepped on the first hurdle, tumbling to the ground and taking Irina Shevchenko of Russia with her. The Russian Federation filed an unsuccessful protest, pushing the medal ceremony back a day. Track officials debated for about two hours before rejecting the Russians' arguments. The race was won by American Joanna Hayes in Olympic-record time. * Clayton Stanley, a member of the American volleyball team at the Olympic tournament, was arrested in Athens one day after the games had ended.
