And the Yahoo Sports beat reporter would agree, all but calling the post-death investigation a whitewash.

Most notably, it certainly wasn’t them or the wild track they built in the mountains here. [SNIP] ________________________________ From: PGage <[email protected]> Al Michaels said the official report from the investigation last night blamed athlete error - when he asked the NBC analyst (is it John Morgan?) he said that the real issue was the high speed on the course - most world class lugers have experience in the 80s. Only the very best (last night he said the top 12 or so) could be expected to handle speeds in the 90s. To me, that does not sound like athlete error as much as creating a course which is not safe for most of the Olympic athletes. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
