One wonders why anyone would want to be an administrator when the backlash is this harsh?
The vast majority of administrators involved in cycling and mtb in particular are volunteers and do it for the benefit of the riders. If they walk away from all of this the problems faced by mtb riders in SA would extend well beyond national team selection for elite DHI men.
The administrators have to apply a predetermined rules framework that is no doubt monitored by SASCOC, and they can’t deviate. If anyone wants to change the framework then it would be best for them to get involved at administration level, right?
Let’s remember that it’s the administrators at all levels (national and provincial) that keep the wheels turning. Let’s appreciate them and do our homework before we start crucifying them.
