Sorry about the late reply, I forgot about this thread... He gave an interview to a French newspaper in, iirc, early 2010. It was reported on many other news sites... Here's one with the original French:

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffr.canoe.ca%2Fsports%2Fvancouver2010%2Fnouvelles%2Farchives%2F2010%2F02%2F20100218-141805.html&sl=fr&tl=en

And this news site has the English translation I quoted:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:EdBNbLw41KwJ:www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Ignorance%2520without%2520borders/2589137/story.html%3Fid%3D2589137+brian+joubert&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a

This situation reminds me of when he sued his girlfriend for telling a magazine he was gay: people say he did it for his career, but I think some people find it more acceptable because of the distance. I don't think we'd nod and smile if Lysacek sued Belbin or Liukin or even Weir (who may have implied it once) for saying he was gay...

Nevertheless, a part of me likes to believe that Joubert said those things because of the decline in his own career, lashing out with cheap homophobic slurs. The fact that every skater who beat him at Worlds 08 and 09 was Canadian or American comes to mind... :/ It doesn't excuse the homophobia, but his apparent friendship with Weir does suggest he isn't actually a bad guy. That's what I'd like to think, anyway.
