Olympic Skater Pasha Grishuk Drugged With GHB

SANTA ANA (AP) ― Authorities say Olympic ice dancer Pasha Grishuk was drugged with GHB, a common date rape drug, during a business meeting at a ritzy Orange County hotel.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says Grishuk, who won two Olympic gold medals for ice dancing, was attending a business meeting at the St. Regis Monarch Beach on April 12 when she began to feel ill.

She spotted a partially dissolved pill in the bottom of her drink. Investigators later found another dissolved pill in the bottom of a drink she ordered in the hotel's lounge.

Amormino says toxicology tests that came back Tuesday were positive for GHB.

He says investigators were looking for motives and enemies of Grishuk, a Ukranian native who now lives in Los Angeles.

The 36-year-old Grishuk won gold medals in ice dancing in 1994 and 1998.

Grishuk is the only woman to win two gold medals in that event.
