Lave of U.C.Irvine: In the '84 Olympics the mile relay came down to a final contest betwen the USA relay team and the Poland relay team. A group of USA businessmen, for whom winning was all, bribed the Polish team not to show up for the event so that the US team could win by default. As it happened, a comparably diligent group of Polish businessmen bribed the US team not to show up so that the Polish team could win by default. Everyone got the word about not showing up except one member of the Polish team, who showed up. It was the first ever living example of a single Pole - double throw relay. - reyn
