And no change to the credentials on the website. So they still punt the level 4 to the unsuspecting.
IceCreamMan Posted June 4 Posted June 4 (edited) 3 hours ago, DMJ said: I'm loving all the legal experts without law degrees... allow me to politely clarify: He's been found *guilty* of all charges relating to grooming and sexual misconduct in civil setting (i.e. on a balance of probabilities he is probably a sex offender and guilty of all civil charges). This was following an extensive process where he was represented by lawyers throughout, including an appeal process. Bester is not a victim here! He has been found guilty whether you like it or not. Whether the SAPS / NPA charges and convicts him of his crimes in a criminal court, with potential jail time, remains to be seen. But that is totally irrelevant to what I have stated above. Completely different processes! I applaud CSA for the openness and transparency! You ever attend the high court, or any court? Or even watch an episode of LA law? Did you notice the opposing counsels? Both sides well qualified and both sides believe themselves to be right? Yet….only one side wins, does this mean the other side is less qualified? do you have knowledge of who has and who does not have law degrees? edit: just to be crystal clear as some may have missed this not so subtle point: don’t think anyone is saying mr bester is innocent, just that it could have been dealt with better.

I spotted this yesterday as well. His own website says Level 3 coach, but his Strava profile states Level 4. I'm pretty sure this can quickly be verified by doing a search on a UCI database. Barry 1

How do you want this to be dealt with better? Your just coming off as a person who feels that predators should be better protected and have anonymity - a friend of predators even

nox1111 Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Rumors of his infidelity has been running around the racing circuit for a while. But at least that was with other consenting adults. This is a whole new low. This guy should be prosecuted by law and kept far away from any females. Loose cog, mazambaan, DieselnDust and 1 other 3 1
