So the chaos continues

 

Next month my annual racing fees will be due.

I ONLY pay this to be able to race in the Vets bunches. 

If (like in the Cape) the race organisers catch a wake up and not enforce the rule of having a CSA license and actually seed riders according to ability, a LOT of people wont have to fund this thing called CSA.......

I understood that the CSA is involved because it's the official local UCI arm, which means it's part of the IOC and SASCOC.  Which is important if you're an international athlete or international race organizer, or have international athletes attending your race.

 

Dunno if the CSA wants to speak to the UCI right now, though... :ph34r:

If done correctly, event organisers must follow Sport & Rec Act, and events must therefore be affiliated with the national body. High court ruling indicated that PPA is on equal standing, so may also affiliate with PPA and no need to do both.

PPA does not have a presence in all provinces, so organisers must fall back on CSA

Correct me if I'm wrong.  What you say is all fine and well for a "legal" sport event within SA. So you would be able to have a large cycling event with the PPA with no problem but it would not be sanctioned by CSA and therefore under UCI rules, licenced riders are not allowed to participate.

CSA tried to high jack the Argus a few years ago and were threatening to sanction CSA licensed riders who took part.

 

I guess they wanted to extort license fees from the 35000 entrants like they do to us.

I'm not saying its right, or agreeing with it

If this is the criteria of measuring a good organization - unfortunately cycling is not been administrated well by both bodies. PPA AGM over a month ago and 1 member of the committee did not chose to stand - not sure which one but PPA web page still shows 12 members!! Cycling is in a sad state (bad management - the big administrators) in RSA.
