If you’re following the Olympics

August 18, 2004 by Michael Boyle

If you’re following the Olympics

even a little bit, you know by now that a couple of days ago a Montreal man got through security with a tutu and polka-dot tights at the diving event and actually dove into the pool before being arrested by security. Today we find that he has been sentenced to five months in jail for his plunge, though he has been released pending an appeal. What has been played down is that he was advertising for the Golden Palace online casino, based in Kahnawake, and that the stunt was one in a long line of stunts designed to drum up attention for the operation.
