Austria (#3)...
A small bit of disgrace on the overall performance of the Austrian's 2006 Olympic performance. As they continue to deal with the Olympic police's anti-doping raid and the unannounced doping tests that targeted some of its cross-country skiers and biathletes.
Being on this side of the globe and hearing some of the Austrian local's viewpoints regarding the subject, I can say that they are quite ashamed. And considering that they are a candidate country for the 2014 winter Olympics, this might be a small embellishment on their records. http://www.salzburg2014.com/
However, Austria also had the best showing in its long Winter Games history with 23 medals overall, nine of them gold, despite a police raid. It was most proud of a record 14 medals in Alpine skiing, including a medal sweep in the men's slalom on Saturday.
