slabs Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Was quite interesting to read the press release from ASA and particularly the part below: "It needs to be added that all broadcast rights to athletics events in South Africa are owned by Athletics South Africa. This is enshrined in the Athletics South Africa constitution, and has been for many years, and as such all members are bound by the provision and are aware of it when they join. This is nothing new. None of the other events in South Africa have claimed broadcast rights fees. The broadcast rights fees are used for running the federation and sending teams to international competitions. There is no way that Athletics South Africa will prejudice our athletes’ rights to attend those competitions in favour of paying over money to an unregistered and unaudited group of individuals who are not accountable to the sport." TV rights enshrined in the constitution? Now how would that impact cycling if it was similar? Just imagine how the fights with the PPA will escalate further....
RABUBI Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Its a pity, as it is quite an experience to do this marathon. Race is now cancelled for this year
