Schuller's testimony is expected to back up allegations made by Jean-Claude Méry, a real-estate promoter and ex-rpr official, in a videotaped confession recorded before his death from cancer in 1999.

...injury; she's had three knee surgeries in the past few years. She came in here hoping for perhaps one medal, any shade. She left with four, three of them gold. No skier had ever won so many and no woman had ever finished first that often (only Jean Claude Killy in 1968 and Tony Sailer in 1956 had been triple-gold among men). Kostelic alone made Croatia look like a pretty formidable team. U.S. alpine women, by contrast, didn't reach the podium. That provides a brief glimpse of how formidable the courageous and charming Kostelic...
