Did the FBI ever catch the masterminds behind the "fixing" or "rigging" of the 2002 Special Olympics?

The Special Olympics is like wwf wrestling, \nthe Special Olympics is not sports, \nit's "Sports Entertainment".\n\nThose guys get paid to be silly.\nThink about it, they wear helmuts to play pingpong.

no, it relied on all the intel agencies to go blind for a while at least. wadda you expect, having something investigate itself.

John Walsh has dedicated his life catching pedophiles and other creeps out there through a show called America's Most Wanted. His son Adam was kidnapped and killed many years ago. His organization is a very worthwhile one.

Yeah, I saw the special that aired in the U.S. several years ago.  It ended up the winning team had to get a certain weight of gold coins out of chests they had to unlcock.  The heavy weight picked up the lightest chick like he was carrying her across a threshold and they loaded up coins between him and her, like she was a scoop.\n\nIt was quite entertaining, I was sad to see the ratings weren't good enough to air more episodes.

You cracked me up with that one Mr. Enz...I mean Gyorzxk. It's a pipe dream to think you will get anyone here to leak information \non that question.

I believe that the guy you are talking about is named Ken Lo and he was a champion kick boxer. He was or still is a member of the Jackie Chan stunt team.

Dude I just wanted to chime in and say that's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time!!! I would NEVER insult the Special Olympics athletes by comparing them to no talent hacks like Jay Z or 50 Cent!!

The story is buried, but I saw the video. Taped in 1982 and about 54 minutes long,  it has John explaining to undercover agents posing as mid eastern businessmen how he was able to secure political favors beneficial to people looking to do business in his district. These guys wanted to do some coal mining and Mr. Murtha said he was the guy who could pave the way in his neighborhood. To his credit and slick operating style Mr. Murtha did not take the money himself but, he said other unnamed people would contact them in a few days to complete the deal. The agents tried but could not get Murtha to divulge any names.\nJohn Martha is no Marion Barry when behind closed doors.

If sending out poll watchers is cheating, then I guess they did. Perhaps the hackers got hacked this time?\n\nWhat gripes my bush is that all the crooks that were fired get huge pensions, free medical care etc. for life, at my expense.

I think they did it. A friend of mine directed me to lunaranomalies.com and they had some interesting theories, yet each of these amateur theories were disproved. Look at it this way. In 1969 the americans and the russians were locked in a desperate bid to get into orbit and ultimately the moon. "Journey beyond selene" by Jeffery Kluger brilliantly documented this. The russian premier publicly mocked the americans and their various failures at even hitting the moon with a basic rocket. Enter 1969 and the pictures of Aldrin and Armstrong on the moon. No comment from Russia. They didn't even televise it. If there was even a hint of evidence that it was faked, the russians would have been all over it like a rash. If it was faked they did a really good job. A secret like that could never be kept, and not one reputable scientist has challenged it. All we have are diehard and paranoid lay people looking for attention. If you look up Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the net you might find some hilarious footage of the day he left a conference to be accosted by one such person. He knocked him flat with one punch! Hilarious. Selene is the greek word for moon.

I think the FSB (successor organisation to the KGB) did it, but they might not have bothered to ask Putin for permission. Some of the old-school types in the FSB wouldn't think twice about liquidating a troublemaker.

How involved? Do you think they are masterminding it or running it or controlling it somehow? Maybe they are background checking the players? Could they be overseeing it like keeping it secure?

If it's real (and I really don't know that it is) it's a gift and not something you can acquire.\nThe Russian government and the CIA both made experiments with telekinesis during the Cold War. The Russians reported having found 'talented' individuals, that could bend spoons and that sort of stuff. But my understanding is this is the kind of thing you're born with. Of course, there's a good chance it's all flak invented by the Russians to make the CIA nervous.
