Pasha Grishuk  a two time olympic gold medalist in figure skating was drugged using the date rape drug GHB while at a business meeting in Los Angeles last week.

Grishuk who skated for the Russian olympic team during the 1990’s was at the St. Regis Monarch Beach when she began to feel the effects of the drug kicking in.

She was at a business meeting with at least one man, and while waiting in the lounge for a table, had a glass of red wine. When she began to feel numb and uneasy she noticed the pill still disolving in the bottom of her wine glass. She removed the pill and called for an ambulance.

The substance of the pill was later confirmed to be gamma hydroxybutyric acid or GHB. The substance was found in an earlier drink of Grishuk as well. It is unclear on how or who placed the substance into her drinks.  she was taken to a hospital by ambulance and later released.
