I was watching the news and shocked to see a story on Lloyd Eisler, a Canadian two-time Olympic medalist (both bronze I believe...) was banned for a year from coaching in Canada? Has anyone else heard about this??
From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Eisler
"Eisler appeared in the 2006 FOX television program "Skating with Celebrities" in which he was partnered with actress Kristy Swanson. They reportedly began an affair while his wife Marcia was eight months pregnant with their second child. Representatives for both Eisler and Swanson have confirmed the couple are dating but deny that the affair began before the Eislers filed formal separation papers in November of 2005. Eisler and Swanson were in Kingston, Ontario in February 2006 to promote and host the annual FebFest event with Jason Priestley, Kirk Muller, Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark, Paul Coffey, Steve Larmer, Marty McSorley, Shayne Corson, Mark Napier, and Deanna Johnston of Rock Star: INXS. His wife Marcia has resumed using her maiden name and also changed their children's names to her maiden name as well. Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler are expecting a child together due on Valentine's Day 2007."
and there's also an article on CTV: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20061119/lloyd_eisler_061119/20061119?hub=TopStories
It is so upsetting to see a Canadian figure skating icon behave so inappropriately and tarnish his formerly good standing reputation....
