New evidence has been made public against Tonya Harding in the 1994 clubbing of her fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan - including a handwritten note on the back of an envelope that investigators saw as the smoking gun in the case.

Kerrigan was famously clubbed in the knee just seven weeks before the 1994 Olympic Games after a practice session at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Investigators traced back the attack to Harding's ex-husband and bodyguard.

Harding at the time was also hoping to join the Olympics team and was Kerrigan's rival. Both made the team that year - Harding finished in 8th position (after interrupting her own performance and asking to start again due to a broken shoelace) while Kerrigan went home with a silver medal.

Never-before-seen evidence has emerged against Tonya Harding (pictured) in the 1994 clubbing of her fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan

One of the new pieces of evidence is a photo taken by investigators of Harding and her husband at the time, Jeff Gillooly, who later received a two-year prison sentence

One of the most important pieces in the case against Harding is a handwritten note scrawled on the back of an envelope. Investigators believe Harding wrote it while planning a failed attack at the Tony Kent Arena, Kerrigan's training center in South Dennis, Massachusetts

Two months later, Harding pleaded guilty to hindering the investigation. She received a $160,000 fine, had to do 500 hours of community service, was placed on three years of probation and was barred from competing in figure skating for the rest of her life.

One of the new pieces of evidence revealed in Saturday's episode of 'Scandal Made Me Famous', published by People magazine, is a photo taken by investigators of Harding and her husband at the time, Jeff Gillooly. The two have since separated.

Investigators found that Gillooly and Harding's bodyguard had hired a man named Shane Stant to beat up Kerrigan. Stant was later sentenced to 18 months behind bars. Gillooly pleaded guilty to racketeering and received a two-year sentence.

Investigators believe Harding wrote the note and that a first attack had been planned at the venue, but failed.

Also included in the new evidence is a record kept by investigators of all the elements in the case, which mentions interviews with Hardin's bodyguard Shawn Eckardt. He later pleaded guilty to racketeering and received an 18-month prison sentence.
