Sad really if that's really the reason. Shows how one man's alleged doping can ruin it for others too.

Have somebody said "Hub-it-to-death" yet?

There is a few things that kills a sport:

1.) People that are members of clubs and partaking in the sport that ask what the club can do for them.

2.) Club management members that are there only there to look after the interest of their own children.

3.) Club management members that are there te see what they can get out of it.

4.) Low membership fees.

5.) Club management not enforcing rules consistently.

 

On point 4. I were involved in a sport where the club fees are only R 120 per year. Members complained it is to expensive. But complain if there is no toilet paper or the clubhouse is not clean. Then if you ask members to come and clean up and fix the place on a Saturday no body pitch.

My Daughter are now at a tennis club where the fees are R 120 a month. The clubhouse looks good. On a Saturday there is about 150 people playing social games and so on.

And look at a place like Action Cricket - expensive but a lot of people are there.

Selfishness, extreme self interest and inconsistency seems to kill sport
