Defense lawyers for a former Olympian have stated that the Justice Department was aware of flaws in its case against their client. The case involved intentional damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The Justice Department has since moved to dismiss the indictment, citing new evidence from the Interior Department.

This evidence allegedly shows that the former Olympian was not responsible for the damage to the pool's lining. Further details on the case and the dismissal are available from the source, including the reasons attributed to the actual damage, which involved a contractor and a rushed project completion.
