A playful Tonya Harding skated Friday, working out for a trip to the Olympics that may never come, as authorities tried to corroborate statements linking her to the attack on Nancy Kerrigan.
In Detroit, station WJBK-TV said it learned that phone records showed several calls were made from a hotel there on Harding's personal credit card the day of the attack - all back to Portland to her bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt, who has confessed and implicated Harding. Detroit's Free Press said at least one call was also made to a skating official in Delaware, who disputed a comment by an official close to the investigation that Kerrigan may have been discussed.In Colorado Springs, Colo., the figure skating panel investigating Harding met and moved up the deadline for its report to Feb. 10, two days before the start of the Winter Games.
And in Portland, the grand jury hearing the Kerrigan case called in Harding's closest friend for questioning.
But Jeff Gillooly, Harding's ex-husband and manager, who was arrested along with Eckardt and two other men, has reportedly implicated her in 17 hours of questioning by authorities.
NBC News reported Friday that Gillooly would plead guilty next week to one count of racketeering and would face up to two years in prison.
