And to those who think that the Canadians will end up with the Gold Medal after the investigation, well, I have my doubts. If a committee is able to change the final result of a game because they are able to point out that the arbiter made a mistake in any way, then you might be opening yet another can of worms.
Just focusing on football (soccer) only, many matches had their disputable moments, moments the entire football following world could fall over, but never was the result of a match changed because 95% of the world thought that the arbiter was biased. The only thing that could happen is a reprimande or suspension for the arbiter, and if they can prove he was bribed by a third party, a suspension and penalty for those who bribed him. (If they can prove the skaters themselves did the bribe or were aware of it, it's a whole different matter of course, as it's clearly then that the competitors were the ones who cheated, not a third party).
If in this case a committee is able to change the result afterwards because a third party had unjustifiable influence on it, we're up for a major revolution in sports...
