Do you remember the gasp that echoed around the world, the collective disbelief that hung in the air? The 1994 Winter Olympics figure skating scandal, a saga of rivalry, ambition, and violence, remains etched in the collective memory, a stark reminder of the dark underbelly that can lurk beneath the glittering surface of elite sports.
