PARIS (AP) — Olympic ice dance champion Gabriella Papadakis says she lost her commentary role with NBC at the upcoming Winter Olympics because of her former skating partner's response to revelations in her new book. In an interview with sports daily L’Équipe on Friday, the retired French skater said the decision was taken after Guillaume Cizeron publicly contested what she wrote in “So as Not to Disappear,” released this week. Cizeron asked his lawyers on Tuesday to formally put all parties involved on notice to cease the “ dissemination of defamatory statements” about him.
