A Japanese magazine revealed that TEAM HANYU, mainly consisting of his coach, Brian Orser and Ms.Noriko Shirota,
EX-manager of JPN skating federation (JRF) who was once fired for accounting fraud in 2006, but returned to JRF in 2010,
completed lobbying for judges steadily and secretly prior to SOCHI Olympic Games to make HANYU win gold.
JSF intentionally forced men's and women's skating team including MAO ASADA to practice in poorly conditioned skating rink located in Armenia,
which required MAO to repair her blades just before competition
; however, HANYU was exempted from training in Armenia on JSF's discretion in perfect situation.
