Ok, they new about it since he joined the team. I didn't know this would get your panties all bunched up.

Indicted last week, but how long has the investigation going on?

The only reason the Russians get caught every other year is bcs some Russian official pockets too much of the bribes.

They broke directive number 1.

The old man would be very disappointed.

Prosecutors say Takahashi acted in ways to favor the companies with sponsorships and other benefits related to the Olympics in return for the bribes.

I was providing the only info from the article available that explained how they got caught, which is that one member of the company that was at the center of the corruption charges did the above.

I know it's not a lot of info, I was just trying to save a click here.

That's not what was asked lmao

“Let’s bring Russians back to sports. Sports are apolitical.” Says the Olympic Committee after having allowed Russia, China and others to bribe themselves to hosting the games and using them for political reasons.

That is the true spirit of “the games”.

Well no the tear could have worsened on the last second of the last match but sure

Wow there are so few comments and yet you have so many downvotes.

Doesn't look like any ody fell on there sword, some guy is suspected of bribery and is denying the charges. Held for 4 months then released with pending charges.

This would be assuming there was any public trust in the Olympics to begin with

Was it Sol or Soul I could never remember?

Totally but the point I’m trying to get across is that he has been in Philly for less than a year on the practice squad. You said the front office have been aware of this for 3+ years. He was just indicted for the crime in the past week. None of that makes sense!

hockey isnt only played on sundays though, theres 82 scheduled games for each NHL team in a season. as someone who "follows sports tv ratings" im surprised you dont know that.

look, its ok to be wrong. nobody else is watching bud.

Olympics corrupt? Say it isn't so!

That's the only info provided in the article, not a whole lot to gleam there other than he was acting suspicious and was on the radar of authorities (or got snitched on, who knows).
