Anyone else catch this crazy story?

"CBC SPORTS ONLINE - Olympics organizers have increased security at all sports venues after a Canadian spectator plunged into a swimming pool during a diving competition in what appeared to be a publicity stunt for an online casino.

The man, who sported a blue tutu, had the the name of a gaming Website plastered on his bared chest when he scampered onto the pool deck and climbed to an adjoining diving board during the men's synchronized three-metre springboard event on Monday.

The 31-year-old was arrested on charges of "interrupting the Games," said a Greek Ministry of Public Order spokesman."

Well, it WAS men's synchronized diving. The tutu was kind of a fashion statement. It is important to look one's best, no matter the occasion.
