Frank Chamizo, a world champion wrestler, revealed that he was offered a $300K bribe to throw an Olympic qualifying match. The Italian athlete expressed his disappointment and disbelief after losing the crucial match to Azerbaijani wrestler Turan Bayramov in controversial circumstances. Chamizo alleged that the bribe offer was made to him on the morning of the weigh-in, tarnishing the integrity of the sport. The match ended in an 8-8 tie, with Chamizo seemingly denied a match-winning takedown in the last seconds after a disputed call by the officials. Despite video evidence supporting his claim, the result stood, leaving Chamizo feeling betrayed and questioning the fairness of the competition. The incident has once again shone a spotlight on issues of corruption and questionable officiating in wrestling, raising concerns about the future of the sport at the highest levels.
