While out celebrating after his winning Bronze Medal run, someone snapped a picture of a ''lady'' on her knees servicing Mr. Lago's bronze diskette.
Also, in the picture are Mammoth Mountain pipe slayer Greg Bretz and Mr. Mark Sullivan.
Needless to say the I.O.C. was pissed and was seriously thinking of revoking Lago's medal. After apologizing to the U.S. Olympic Committee and U.S. Ski & $nowboard Association, Lago was allowed to keep the Bronze Medal that he had rightly deserved to win and was sent home, thus forgoing the closing ceremonies.
Anyways, it's supposed to be snowing for six days straight in Mammoth, so our guess is Lago won't give two shits about missing the final ceremony.
