It's the Biggest Cover-Up of the Games - Los Angeles Times

"The company that manufactured the toilets in use inside Pinerolo Palaghiaccio, the curling site for the 2006 Winter Olympics, is not an official Olympic sponsor, so anyone using the restrooms inside the arena has been seeing strips of gray tape placed strategically over porcelain.

The same tape has been plastered over sponsor patches on skiers' jackets in Sestriere and the brand names on television monitors inside numerous venues, anywhere an unapproved corporate logo might appear.

When asked how many rolls of tape had been spread across these Games, Cecilia Gandini, an organizing committee executive, laughed and said, 'I don't know how many meters, but it means we've been working quite hard.'"
