    I reckon Martin who posted above has captured my thoughts succinctly regarding this. If CSA believed they had a strong enough “case” they should have followed through. After all, they have a duty of care to all members and even more so for minors. Bringing up charges of this nature is incredibly serious in either case of the person being guilty or even if innocent. We know public opinion and how it is swayed. This dude is now essentially free to carry on doing what he has ( allegedly) been doing all along. There is something fundamentally ****** up with that. just a point I believe some have missed here, the appeal was not against the charges per se, but against the sanction applied.

    Not saying that they are the villain , saying they did not handle this well. CSA is an administrative body. Nothing more. They have no authority to escort anyone from public areas where most cycle events are held. Without those umbrellas the services are still very much on the table, not only in cycling but in other sports like triathlon etc. We disagree, that’s fine. This dude will be free to come and go as he pleases. This is the tragedy in this.

    Really….what would happen if he popped up at an event supporting one of his students, or his wife or anyone? No one could stop him doing that. he can provide his services , just not under the umbrellas. his ban is effective as to participation, everything else he has carte Blanche. To add, his appeal was to a certain degree a win for him. Afraid to say, this whole saga has been poorly handled by CSA.
  4. IceCreamMan
    He is banned from participating.
  5. IceCreamMan
    Guess there might be some areas only sanctioned coaches are allowed so he won’t be permitted there but he would be allowed everywhere else.
  6. IceCreamMan
    He is a top rated coach, not Jesus.
  7. IceCreamMan
    No , they do not. CSA have no authority in that regard. He would also be permitted to support his riders wherever he chooses to. its business as usual. Hence criminal charges should have been laid.

    Went down some rabbit holes after my son asked me a question. In essence what percentage of the population has ever run: 1. A half marathon. About 1 percent. 2. A marathon. Less than 1 percent , some sites state it is around 0,1 percent. 3. An ultra. About 0,007 percent. While these figures are estimates they are interesting. Anyone got better info?

    My first IM I rented a wet suit from blusmooth. After that I bought an armless xterra wet suit which I never used for IM as I prefer swimming in my speedo. Looked strange on the beach. if intended to only do a one off event rent one or borrow one.

    Exactly. Life goes on. no charges. No guilt. No record.

    Hence the disclaimer. Sometimes removing emotion from a situation gives folks the wrong impression.

    So no case exposes other minors. The state has a legal duty here to investigate and prosecute if the allegations are valid. The state did not have to wait, should have been done then in 2023 if there were grounds to.
  15. IceCreamMan
    If they had a strong case they would have by now. ( or so one would think) so, 3 years later and still no case brought against this dude. Mmmmm, wonder where the old thread is now. ( and I have nothing but contempt for groomers, sexual predators and the like and anyone guilty of such offences should be publicly whipped)

    Reckon he is a good manager. But that gum chewing I could never get on with. some other side will snap him up and he will do well….again.
  20. IceCreamMan
    Mea culpa. Thought Frank was a better fit. But opinions like assholes hey. At least spurs doing well in Europe, that’s gotta keep him in a job. For now.
