	Summer Olympics 2000 Bribe offer? Boxing officials will double it
		Actually, amateur boxing officials are going one better by giving Olympic judges and referees an offer they can't refuse -- double the bribe in cash for anyone reporting an attempt to influence the scoring of a fight.
		That would be a change from previous Olympics, where questionable decisions raised suspicions of shady dealings and almost got boxing tossed out of the Olympics.
		Amid calls to ban boxing from the Olympics, AIBA introduced computerized scoring to try to ensure boxers from any country got a fair break.
