Pawn Stars

[reidbeloni]

I was watching pawn stars tonight and a seller came in with a pin for having complete a urine test at an Olympic event. Supposedly when someone provided a urine test at the Olympics they would be given a little pin. The pin looked like a vial of urine with the statement "I gave at the Olympics 1986" or something like that. I am sure that the pin said 1986. The seller implied that he finished 4th the Olympics that year.

I am curious who the cyclists is. However, upon quick review, there were no summer Olympics in 1986. So, is the pin a farce?

Episode 12/12/11 Silence of the Lambo
All that I can fin about the sale is from "Las Vegas Badger" saying the following: The next guy brought in a Olympic Urine Test Pin. You got the pin for peeing in a cup during the Olympics. the seller was an Olympic bicyclist and wanted $500 and Rick offered $100 and then $150 and that was the selling price." http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2011/12/pawn-stars-review-december-12-2011.html

I saw that episode, too! Seller said his name was 'Fred', and I thought he said it was from the LA Olympics... Anyway, that's what I 'remember'. :confused:

The pin was from the 1986 Olympic festival, not the Olympics which were in 1984 and 1988.
