I came across an old Globe and Mail article about Jean Senft and the
"Balkov tape" which again indicates that "Senft said nothing about the
tapes in interviews afterward. Canadian officials told her to keep
quiet about them." Marie Reine Le Gougne's lawyers are similarly
charging that Benoit Lavoie reported to Canadian officials - but not
to the ISU - certain things she said to him last fall regarding
"influence" from the Russian judge. If Canadian judges are looking to
Skate Canada to speak to the ISU for them, they'd be wise to think
again and yell loudly.
