Both the IOC and the ISU.

And we have no way of knowing. I agree that just watching the tapes would not be a solution. That leaves two options:

- Throw out the tainted score
- Reskate the entire competition, not just the pairs in question here. IMO, you couldn't do this. Some of the athletes have already left SLC. Also, it would be difficult to schedule the ice time.
