...working in Peru sabotaging pipelines and training in antiterrorist tactics in Israel. Having worked as Tonya Harding's bodyguard for two months, he is now passing along tales about her -- indeed, three different ones. The first clears the skater of any wrongdoing in the attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan; the second implicates her on hearsay evidence; the third implicates her directly. Based on his past bouts of braggadocio, it's impossible to know which of Eckardt's allegations deserve a 6.0 for technical merit and which earn a 6.0 for what may be called artistic impression...
...participation in the Winter Olympics next month will depend largely on which of Eckardt's stories athletics officials choose to believe. With the U.S. Figure Skating Association (USFSA) facing a Jan. 31 deadline to name its Olympic squad, Harding, 23, remains an ambiguous character in the plot to cripple Kerrigan. Four men, including Eckardt and Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, 26, have been arrested and charged in the conspiracy. Investigators have uncovered money transfers and phone and bank records that link the four alleged conspirators to one another and the assault, but nothing in that paper trail either decisively...
...about Harding's role surround a failed plan that predated the Jan. 6 attack in Detroit. Three of the arrested men -- Eckardt; hit man Shane Stant, 22; and getaway driver Derrick Smith, 29 -- have told investigators that during the final days of 1993, they conspired with Gillooly to attack Kerrigan while she trained at the Tony Kent Arena on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An 11-page affidavit, prepared by the Multnomah County sheriff's office in Oregon and made public last week, states that Eckardt initially claimed that Harding did not know about the plot. But under two days...
...Stant and Smith, lays out a series of verbal and money transactions that implicate Gillooly but not Harding. All three co-conspirators say they met with Gillooly in Portland in late December; two of them say a price of $6,500 was set for Stant and Smith to injure Kerrigan. Eckardt and Smith concur that Smith was paid $2,000 on the spot, with bills supplied by Gillooly. Gillooly's bank records indicate that he made three withdrawals totaling $9,000 between Dec. 27 and Jan. 6. Western Union records show that on Jan. 5 and 6 Eckardt wired...
...Harding makes it to Lillehammer, she is likely to meet up again with Kerrigan. Last week the injured skater showed signs of rapid recovery, successfully running through her routines, albeit with minor jumping adjustments. Then Kerrigan took off for California to shoot a Reebok commercial -- just the sort of lucrative deal Harding dreams...
