With Sochi tapped by the FSB, will Team Russia have an advantage?

Responding to the western campaign of "deliberate sabotage" in the media, Paul Sonne of WSJ reports, Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Kozak said, "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day."

Then an aide whisked Kozak away before he could answer any follow-up questions, Sonne reports.

With the revelation about possible cameras in the showers, and virtually all electronic devices being hacked upon entry, the question I have is: Will Russia use the security service to gain an unfair advantage in the Olympics?

We all know the politics and rigging that goes into sports like figure skating, this is highly competitive. If the locker rooms are bugged, what's to stop the Russians from spying in on game plans, possible injuries, and other confidential information?

What does everyone think?

There is no evidence that this is occurring.

Unless a source can be provided showing such alleged communication between the FSB and Russian Olympians, we have no need to engage in baseless speculation.
