1980 Miracle on Ice Not So?
Hi all, I just joined. OK, here's a conspiracy theory. Numbered below are things I would like to see substantiated.
1. The CIA and the KGB had an annual friendly prank-off in which they would try to outdo each other.
2. Before the Russia-USA olympic hockey game in 1980, the CIA injected novocaine into the Russian goalie's stick-carrying arm.
3. Consequently, all American goals in the game are made stick-side in the goal (as the goalie was weakened there).
4. As a result, the goalie felt so suspicious that he asked to be tested for substances, to which he was refused.
5. That holiday season the CIA sent a telegram to the KGB that said "A little novocaine stick side. Do you believe in miracles?"
I'm by no means a conspiracy theorist, but I thought this was a fun one if its true. So here's the plan. We need to prove/disprove these elements to the story. Any help would be appreciated!
