I also forwarded this info to my mentor in graduate school, Dr. Andy Fry. He seems potentially interested in working on it. I also understand a comparison of nation's positives compared to medals earned in major international meets the last 4 years has been put together that is also quite striking. I think we can integrate all this data and make a very damning case against this unjust system. These matters may be headed toward litigation as well, in fact I am pretty sure they are and likely more than one case. Finally, it looks like I am doing the online commentary for weightlifting at the Olympics for NBC this summer, so this could be a good opportunity to raise the issue, repeatedly.

Thanks again. I will start working on the stats, try to get a phone call with Dr. Fry, send him and Dennis Snethen the updated info, and keep you informed.
