Douglas Williams (USA) is found guilty of national bias for his scoring of Levito, Glenn and Tennell at 2023 Worlds. However, he wasn't found guilty of systematically under-marking their competitors.
So he gets away with just a warning, also because he didn't get previous warnings (unlike some of the judges who were recently suspended who had already had previous warnings for their judging).
His level of self-esteem is quite something: The Alleged Offender, in the Statement of Response prepared on his behalf, describes himself as “one of the finest examples of a skating official that the ISU system has ever and could ever produce”.
