if you change tracks and cut someone off in speedskating, you get disqualified.
if your hemoglobin level is too high indicating drug use, you get disqualified.
you cheat, you lose!

i can't believe there has been so much of it going around. it looks really bad for the country... much worse than just losing in the first place.

The Canadian pairs skaters were very professional about their actions and reactions to initially winning the silver metal.
The South Korean speed skater changed lanes and was subsequently disqualified for doing so. I thought it very disrespectful when he threw his country's flag on the ice. An American would have been slammed and criticized severely.
I'm not sure what the Russians are crying about, but I am glad the Olympics are over because I was tired of hearing about it.
