Re: [RC] ROC MisInformation Again - heidiTom writes:"The recent SW sanctioning discussion is not new, even tho no one has mentioned names, there is no ROC because of it."The fact remains, the ROC *was* AERC sanctioned... for the originally requested June date. It was only after the requesting person found out they had procrastinated too long and could not also CEI /FEI sanctioning did they request a move to October. The October date requested landed square on top of another already sanctioned 100 mile ride. But no other date was good enough for the requesting RM. Yes, many of us remember it well. And you are right, Kathy, that this problem is squarely Susan Gibson's fault, and due to her procrastination, which is legend. (She has failed to get AERC sanctioning for some of her events in the past for the very same reason--and God bless the directors who did not bend the rules for her then, either!) BUT--if there were NOT a conflict of interest, Randy's decision would not be open to question. I agree--he absolutely made the right decision. But had it been made by a party with no vested interest, there would BE no question, and the saga would not be continually replayed the way it is now. This discussion is NOT about any wrongdoing on Randy's part--it is about the fact that when one party has a vested interest, EVEN WHEN HE MAKES A FAIR DECISION, there is still a taint on it. THIS is what is NOT good for the sport! Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
