S. champion . This may not be politically correct, but do you think he lost points due to his uniform and his body language? Theyll think all the boys who skate will end up like him, he said. It sets a bad example. We should make him (Weir) pass a gender test at this point, Goldberg said, and Mailhot then jokingly suggested Weir should compete in the womens competition.
