I know Luke posted this at the end of the WSF thread, but I figured it warranted it's own thread. Could raise some interesting discussion.

Could we really see Loz, Radzikowski, Felix, Petersson, Nee etc banned from WSM?!

I highly doubt it.

It looks like speculation and recommendation from Randy Strossen to be fair, not from IMG, so should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Banning top WSM athletes due to another federations advertising/publicity cock ups??

Seems like a f**king stupid idea to me. If it was to happen surely it would be from now on rather than from all previous comps???

What sort of punishment/deteroint is that? Surely then the WSF shud continue doing what they are doing.. The top athletes get banned from WSM so compete in WSF and we have a dart situstion?

Legal sanctions directly against WSF would be the smart thing to do.

what an absolute crock of s**t.

So i take it Kevin Nee (one time WSM Finalist And US National), Big Loz Top 4 in the world, josh Thigpen (Us National), and Mark Felix will never be able to compete in WSM again.

My take on it is future comps.. And who would want to claim they won a world competition with below par weights....

non story? 1.) this is ironmind SUGGESTING IMG should take this action. not IMG actually banning anyone. and, 2.) the way I took it was that athletes should be banned for any future involvement in these federations.

such an asshole thing to do - public announcements like that and all on competetors head!

I think we should call a boycott of ironmind products - unless he shuts his s**tty mouth.

I don't have much time for anyone passing off such misleading headlines as facts (this is typical of gossip magazines et al.) especially one who includes the first letter of their middle name.

I actually quite liked Ironmind as a site, but i think that article is pretty low, and seems to just be trying to incite trouble.

Not impressed.

It is for the federations to sort out without articles like that stirring the pot. No athlete should be banned from competing unless they have been explicitly told prior that their actions would lead to a ban. It would be a pity if we saw a split along the lines of IFSA/WSM again. Not good for the athletes or the fans imo
