Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Blind Item!

Which two perky Olympian teammates are really bitter rivals? One spiked the other’s protein shake with laxatives before a big competition, but her plan backfired when her nemesis not only powered through the competition but beat her so-called friend anyway.

I think we all know who this refers to … but could it be true???

  • Oh I believe this. All of that love and kisses is usually an act.
    My mother was a professional ice skater and those girls are ruthless… You can see that little Shawn Johnson was going to kick someone’s ass if she didn’t get herself a gold metal.

  • noooooo!

    not nasty lui and shawn john.

    i refuse to believe it. they are like sisters……please do not ruin my olympic (consumer) dreams.

    but if true…thats funny as hell/

  • ^No, it can’t be the volleyball chics b/c they play together and one can’t beat the other, they’re a team. Go Kerri and Misty! But I have no idea… not shawn and nast

  • no Nadine, you are not… I have no clue either!
    I think it would be kinda hard to perform as a gymnast if you had a bodacious case of the bubble and broth, but hey, these olympians are known for their determination, so who knows….still wouldn’t there be lots of chances for some overspill to show under those barely there lycra onesies they wear???

  • my guess would be nastia and shawn. but that really surprises me. I mean, they both seemed so darn NICE.

  • I *just* read this exact same thing from Dlisted. Word for word.

    Plagurise much?

    Did I spell that right? Oh, well… at least my comment is original.

  • @What Ev:

    Dude, Dlisted wrote the EXACT SAME THING because we BOTH took it from the NY Daily News. See how I sourced it?

    And, no, you didn’t spell it right. Not even close.

    I hadn’t considered the swimmer angle — I think it refers to Nastia and Shawn. But I can’t believe little Shawn would ever do that! I hope it’s a lie!

  • Don’t they test the athletes after a competition?? I thought I read somewhere that one of the athletes from another country got pulled for having a diuretic in their system. I doubt the story (but its funny as hell!!)

  • well Shawn said that she wasn’t feeling well before the beam and nastia flat out must be a bitch because she makes the ugliest faces openly at her competitors and was CLEARLY no happy about not winning or about Shawn winning…

  • I remember hearing one of the announcers saying something about an intestinal illness that one of the swimmers was suffering with.

  • i hope its not shawn she just seems so damn cute i can’t imagine her doing anything nasty like that. as for nastia she looks ruthless that pinched face she just nvr seems happy

  • Laxative sabotage is so cliche. Let’s at least put some thought behind it my perky Olympians.

  • LOL, reminds me of the time I was working at a child care center. An employee was stealing the children’s food out of the fridg. The cook spiked a bowl of pudding with ex-lax. The poor lad who was doing the stealing never came back to work.

  • If it were the gymnasts, I would think it would have been Nastia that tried to sabotage Shawn, not vice-versa. It was probably referring to the beam competition where Shawn got gold and Nastia silver.

  • Nastia and Shawn are friends. I think it was Alicia. The wording of it is weird. It doesn’t necessary mean the spiker competed. I think Alicia gave Shawn laxatives, and I don’t think it had anything to do with her wanting Nastia to lose, but for Shawn to lose.
