1) I find the fact that people are doing it, and I don't know that she did at this point or not, only that she stands accused. As others have pointed out, accused and guilty are NOT the same thing and should not be confused. This is not to say that someone who IS guilty and accused can not wrangle out of it.
2) I find the phrase about the media "sweeping it under the rug interesting in and of itself, as it does show a certain bias on your part, in that you are certainly implying either that Americans are not smart enough to read sources that are non-American, or that Americans ignore things around them.
Do understand that the current sport in America, at the moment, is Football. Baseball just passed, and Track and Field is really only a popular interest in Summer Olympic years, therefore not that many people are paying attention. In addition, Baseball's current scandal is far overshadowing.
