Well, all we know is that a protest was filed claiming that Robbie and some team... not mentioned publicly, were in cahoots and team racing with the effect of trying to drive Johnny and Charlie down in the standings.
The protest was tossed out.
So, the protest is probably unsportsmanlike conduct... aka cheating.
This just stinks!
I agree with you.. ... its a small community... better for US Sailing to publish the papers and facts found then have us speculate about it.
If it's a pile of [censored]... so be it.
Mark, if I read this right, are you calling Johnny Lovell and Charlie Ogeltree cheaters?
If the situation would have been reversed, would you be calling Hunter and Robbie cheaters?
If I file a protest against you on the race course because I think I saw you violate a rule but the protest committee findings dicate otherwise and disallow it, am I now a cheater for filing the protest against you?
With all due respect to you, I want to believe your comments were premature or not as I am reading them.
