The world of rhythmic gymnastics is snared in a cheating scandal, reports the New York Times this morning. Applicants testing to become judges for the 2016 Games in Rio were caught brazenly cheating on the exam—some had answers copied, including mistakes, across several papers, while other sported several different types of handwriting. Longtime proponents of the sport were not surprised by the news. Said one longtime judge: “This sport is very ill. It’s poisoned from head to toe.”
