NEW: French judge Jezabel Dabouis accused of rigging figure skating event against the United States to give France a gold medal. Viewers were shocked when France's Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Guillaume Cizeron took gold over America's Madison Chock & Evan Bates. Five of the nine judges gave Chock and Bates the top score, while the other four gave Beaudry and Cizeron the top score. Thanks to the French judge, however, Beaudry and Cizeron were able to take gold, considering she gave Team USA a much lower score than the other judges. "Not only did she judge the French pair 6.45 points higher than the mean, but she undervalued Chock/Bates by -7.19 — giving us a +13.64 delta favoring France over USA in the final score. This represents a staggering 6.37 standard deviation z-score difference across the event," reported SBNation. "There has been a consistent pattern from Jézabel Dabois over multiple events of juicing scores for F. Beaudry/Cizeron in the ice dance, while filing low scores for their opponents," the outlet continued. "When it comes to the Olympic Games, in which France won gold by just 1.43 points, there is no doubt that the scoring of Dabois was the key differentiator in deciding who won the event." During an interview with CBS, Chock and Bates, who are married, called for more transparent judging. This must be investigated.
