If police are still wondering who slipped GHB into Olympic ice dancer Pasha Grishuk's drinks at dinner the other night, they may want to check out her dinner companion. The New York Post reports that Grishuk called the man to see if he would admit slipping her the date rape drug. He denied that but did admit that there were other pills on the premises that night. She reminded him he'd disappeared for 15 minutes in the bathroom and asked why he came back "acting weird."
He answered, "OK, fine, I took, Viagra," she quoted him saying.
Uh, yeah, mysterious ice-skating enthusiast, we're all well aware of the kind of energy that Viagra provides and that's why it's a strange choice for a business meeting. Someone should remind him, it's Red Bull that gives you wings, Viagra gives you something else entirely.The dinner partner, a man in his 60s, who was supposed to be discussing a business venture with the 1994 and 1998 ice-dancing gold-medalist, claimed he took the drug, because it "gives him energy," Grishuk said.
Innocent until proven guilty and all that but, still, it's a pretty shady alibi. "Yes, that's blood on my shirt and yes, I'm not wearing any pants but I have no idea how that dead hooker got here, officer."
Ice skating has a tough time finding it's niche in the United States. Sure, every four years for a week it becomes big news during the Winter Olympics but otherwise the athletes of the ice find it tough to get a mention beside the big boys of American sports. Making it worse, the rare times they do get attention it tends to have nothing to do with their athletic acheivements.
