![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Gold medalist Evan Lysacek's been trashed by a Russian figure skater for his winning routine -- but the U.S. Olympian ain't looking to talk smack back.
We got the winning skater ... and his gold medal ... outside "Larry King Live" last night, where he said Evgeni Plushenko's routine was "inspired" -- and the Russian is only criticizing Evan because "he's under a lot of pressure."
Translation: I beat his ass fair and square.

What a very gracious thing to say. Good for you, Evan. My respect for you just went up even more... wish I could respect Evgeni but I have a very hard time liking him after his ridiculous behavior.

Evan deserved to win that gold, he skated wonderfully. Pleshenko, while good, did not have as good of a performance as Evan in anyway. I don't understand how he could come back after being a professional, to skate in the Olympics anyway, there use to be very strict rules about this. His greed is what drove him, and it didn't work out. I use to enjoy watching him, but no more after this. He has really killed himself. Evan, you are a class act, keep up the good work!!

The guy asking Evan questions is worse than nails on a chalkboard. What a loser. But Evan is smokin' hot!! There's a debate about which team he plays for. Hope it's mine.

Evan Lysacek is one classy guy! He deserves the GOLD around his neck! Plushenko is nothing more than a sore loser, silver is nothing to cry about dude. It's really pathetic how he's trying to remove the spotlight from Lysacek and place it on himself...I wish the media would stop assisting him in his efforts. Lysacek deserved the GOLD and all of the attention surrounding his Olympic performance!! Rock on, Evan!!!!!!!!!!! USA WOO!
