Dutch probe alleged attempted bribe by speedskater

Dutch Olympic and speedskating authorities announced Monday they are launching an investigation into claims by a Polish speedskater that she was offered 50,000 euros for her starting spot in the 5,000-meter race at the 2006 Turin Olympics.

The allegation by Katarzyna Wojcicka was first aired Sunday night on Dutch national broadcaster NOS. Wojcicka told NOS she was offered the money to withdraw so that Dutch skater Gretha Smit could compete. She said she turned it down.

Smit and her then-coach Ingrid Paul, now coach of the Canada women's speedskating team, deny the allegation.

Wojcicka finished 16th and last in the 5,000 in Turin. Smit, who recently retired from speedskating, did not race.

"We have to clarify as quickly as possible what happened around that five kilometer race in Turin so we can reach conclusions and, if necessary, take action," Dutch Olympic Committee chairwoman Erica Terpstra and skating union president Doekle Terpstra said in a joint press release.

Wojcicka, Smit and Paul could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. Dutch media said Paul denied the allegation of attempted bribery, but conceded she did try to get Smit a starting place."I wouldn't know where I could get that kind of money," she said at a World Cup meet in Salt Lake City.

"The only thing I can remember is that we asked all countries at the time if they had somebody who might want to give up their place in the five kilometres soGretha could take their place," she added.

Smit won silver in the 5,000 at the Salt Lake City games and had hoped to go one better in Turin, but she was only first reserve for the event. That meant she could only race if one of the 16 skaters dropped out.
