its a reality of every luge and bobsleigh event. and its a reality that every one tries to get an edge on the exact track conditions from everything from LUGE to NASCAR... in every race ever invented.
onto the specific topic at hand.

the reality of every luge and bobsleigh event.
"The Star reported that he thinks the track warming may have been deliberate. The track is equipped with a cooling system, and Staudinger suggested that the cooling may have been turned down later in the race, changing the ice conditions."
this of course works in both directions. you can also insure the track conditions are perfect for your home team riders and crap for other teams. stories of vancouver manipulation were just as prevelant in 2010 as they are now.
As far as manipulating track conditions to get an advantage in qualifying at NASCAR i'd like to quote the great Richard Petty
" if you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' "
onto your "conspiracies don't exist because they are conspiracies".
9/11 was a conspiracy amongst many people.
unless u can somehow explain how 3 towers fell , a hole was put in the pentagon and a giant crater appeared in pennsylvania and it was all caused by 1 guy who talked to no one. so 9/11 had to be a conspiracy of some kind.
if you think the Canadians who ran the Van-City olympics were 100% boy-scout honest and always did everything for "the good of the sport" and "the ultimate in fair play" you are living in the same dream world that contains the tooth fairy and santa claus.
if ur point is that "conspiracies don't happen in canada".
i could talk about Liberal Adscam, Paul Bernardo/Homolka and how the cops fucked up the DNA test, the 20+ year MLG Child Abuse Ring... i got lots of proven made in canada conspiracies that are 4854897 times worse than screwing with the temperature on a luge track.
the MLG Child Abuse Ring makes Penn State look like amateur hour.
conspiracies exist in canada. just ask the child abuse victims of the maple leaf gardens horror show... unless you'd now like to blame the victims.

“People have the argument that it’s just home advantage and that’s normal for an Olympic host country, but it’s different for sports involving high speed. Can you imagine in Formula One nobody being allowed on a track because somebody has home advantage?”
what is really sad is.. this caused someone to die.
tell ya, this just makes me wanna sing the canadian national anthem!
WHAT A COUNTRY!

I just can't buy the conspiracy theories. Got any articles from reputable sources detailing exact events where temperature/humidity were tampered with?

I would have bolded the 9/11 conspiracy parts if I wanted to prove lamprey1 is a troll personally.
Most of his posting history could be quoted to prove that though
