These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2007-02-12,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I did not originally write either of these rounds.

led to the awarding of a second set of gold medals in pairs

soccer's match-fixing scandal. Be sufficiently specific.

in 2003 to testify at the BALCO inquiry, after that company

for life. He later admitted to betting on games involving the
