The most devious cheat in Olympic history probably hasn't been caught.

I'm a fencer. This is why we now inspect equipment before tournaments.

I love the sense of humor...stories of estranged wires sticking out of his meter cannot be confirmed

The most devious cheat in the history of the Olympics was robbing Yuna Kim of her rightful second gold medal in Sochi

I'm sorry but the reenactment where the volleyball team threw a volleyball at him was effing hilarious 😂

I don't get why he did it. Wouldn't people obviously see it didn't hit and question it?

@HugoStiglitz88 8 years ago

He clearly isn't very devious if he was caught so easily LOL

As someone who’s fenced most of my life, this is not the only time someone tried to cheat. A few years ago someone got a black card (disqualification) for there French grip being bent a certain way. The fencer was told the day before by the refs it was to bent, so the refs had bent it back. But, that night they had bent it back. Needles to say, don’t cheat.

in my personal opinion, it was the robbery of yuna kim at sochi, but isu nor the olympic committee will ever admit that :/

Ok but can we talk about how good the camera quality is for 1968? 1:06

I mostly love how comically huge the depiction of his cheating device is in this video. Very nice vid!

Always wondered why they went with the switch in the guard route. As he really needed was something conductive attached to the thumb of the glove. He could've reached out with it and shorted across the A and B lines at the socket. All attention would be on the weapon, and I doubt anyone would think to check his glove.

As an engineer, this makes me kinda proud

This guy is actually a very good friend of my dad. From his account, KGB approached him before the 1976 Olympics and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. His medals were eventually reinstated by the Olympic committee years later. And I can confirm that he definitely never drove a cab lol.
