We discuss:

• What happened in Paris with the floor scores?
• What should have happened?
• How did CAS, FIG and IOC respond?
• What role did Donatella Sacchi play?
• The lie that Sabrina Voinea’s coach challenged the OOB deduction
• What changes might happen within the FIG because of this debacle?
• What the Swiss Federal Tribunal will be looking at?
• Lots of listener questions
• Plus a few Paris and “vacation” stories
