European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 03, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday february 3, 1994 sports the stars and stripes Page 33 still in convicted Jeff Gillooly sounds like a masochist Stream. His former wife one Tonya Harding a figure skater from Oregon has been issuing documented cries of help Over the years  is abusive to her but she kept going Back to him a pattern she May re Gret right about now. There is one last thing Jeff Gillooly has done to Tonya Harding. He has served her up on a Golden Platter to the Law and . Olympic committee. In striking a plea bargain Gillooly said his former wife was actively involved in the plot to whack Nancy Kerri Gan before and after the actual assault of Jan. 6. Gillooly stated Harding had previously expressed con Cern several times to him that they might give Eckardt the Money for injuring Kerrigan and that Job would not get done stated the Fri Tran script. She was concerned that they would not get their Money  it is of course hard to get Good help these Days. Gillooly also said his former wife made Calls to help locate Nancy Kerrigan. He Testi fied that Harding said of let s do it a week be fore the attack. But Why is he saying All this Jeff would have fallen on his sword for Tonya if Tonya had told the truth. But she did to said Ron Hoevet who is Gillooly s lawyer. Whatever happened to gallantry even in divorce in t there room for Gillooly to go silently to some Granola prison in Oregon and let his sex wife com Pete in the Winter games in Norway in two weeks George Vecsey commentary imagine if Clyde Barrow and miss Bonnie Parker had not gone out in a Hail of bullets and Clyde had copped a plea bargain to testify against Bonnie. It Isal so Tacky. Normally i would not believe much of what Jef Gillooly said except for Tonya s treacly denials in that itty bitty figure skating voice. In the words of one George Steinbrenner protege Billy Martin they deserve each  All Over the country people want to talk about Jeff and Tonya the Way they were talking about John Wayne and Lorena. At my Barber shop tuesday in Stead of talking soccer they wanted to talk about Tonya. Did she or did t she they All think she did. On the other hand Many female friends of mine talk up the spunk and the athleticism of Tonya Harding they kind of wish they played Pool and changed their own brakes. But if you ask them did she know they get a wry smile on their faces an they say you know she  does any of this matter Tonya Harding s life should not be determined by some amalgamated electronic nationwide super duper poll of  Dick ens said the Law was an ass but we Are  gossip and go by our gut feelings. We kick butt. We Call up Mike and the mad dog. I m sticking wit the Law. As of this moment Tonya Harding is not legally charged with anything. She is free to leave the coun try free to compete in the Winter games. I have no doubt the figure skating officials and the olympic officials wish she would fall on her own personal sword because she is inconvenient to them. But i have watched film clips of this Tough Little athlete practising and i do not think she is going to Cave in. Maybe not even in Norway when she docs four minutes of triple axes and the judges hit her with 4.5 s for having dirty fingernails or whatever. The . Olympic committee has a huge problem. She May not be charged with anything before the games begin. She surely in t going to be convicted of anything by then. And she is going to have a Law yer monitoring anything the soc tries to pull. They be got a lot of ghosts to Deal with these peo ple from the olympic committee. They be got the ghost of Jim Thorpe whose Gold medals were not re turned to him until he was dead. They be got the ghost of. Jack Kelly the bricklayer s son who was considered too commercial for thenice folks in the olympic movement. They be got the living presence of Eleanor Holm who was bounced from the team for Drinkin Champagne. And they be got the living presence of Marty Click Man the jewish sprinter who was denied a snot on the relay team at the 1936 games in Berlin of the whim of a couple of track coaches who were not you May be sure jewish. The committee now has 60 pages of Jeff Gillooly s plea bargaining testimony serving up his sex wife. Tonya Harding has admitted learning of the conspiracy Days after the attack and denying it. The com Mittee can Call her in and try to determine if she Vio lated any sportsmanship code although that s a Tough one in the Day of millionaire olympians. Even now i say they should let her compete and in the unlikely Case the judges Don t crowbar her they can always take away her medal if she is legally convicted.
