Didier Gailhaguet, the French figure skating federation president under investigation in connection with the Olympic judging scandal, asked French judges to assist in designing a "conquering strategy" that would win "political influence" for France in two similarly worded letters sent to French judges in 1993.
The letters, written in French and obtained last week by The Washington Post, suggest that Gailhaguet considered French judges an integral part of the federation's effort to advance the success of its skaters rather than independent arbiters who were not to be approached.

It seems that more and more evidence is turning up but whether it will be of any help is a big question.

It is unclear whether the letters will have a role at the hearing. ISU officials have said they will consider only complaints against Gailhaguet and Le Gougne that pertain to the Salt Lake Games. ISU General Secretary Fredi Schmid declined comment Friday through an official.
