Sasha Cohen Addresses Critics

Nicole Bobek Implicated in Drug Ring
Well, this is a downer. Every once in awhile I wonder whatever happened to Nicole Bobek, the 1995 National Champion whose rebellious side always seemed to get in the way of her potential. Unfortunately, I've finally found articles that tell me what happened. She's been charged with conspiracy to...
