I vote for the conspiracy that caused the US team to walk into the stadium for the 2002 Winter Olympics wearing outfits that made them all look like limo drivers from Jersey. For the people who are now going, "Hmmm..." -- yes, this is the very same conspiracy (or at least, the winter version of it) that caused the US team to walk into the stadium for the 2004 Summer Olympics wearing outfits that made them look like fat little kids in sailor suits.
what about the Carl Lewis cover-up. vito, great link.
