CAS rules against Stapleford, Lindgren, Garden

Sally-Anne Stapleford (UK), Britta Lindgren (Sweden), and Janet Garden (Canada) were dismissed from the ISU after their involvement with the World Skating Federation's attempt to establish a new international governing body for figure skating. They appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Their appeal for reinstatement was dismissed, and they need to pay the court costs (500 Swiss francs) and some of the ISU's legal fees (2,000 Swiss francs each).

Point 74. "It is the historical fate of the failed revolutionaries that they depend of [sic] the mercy of the victors."

I would have more respect for the ISU if they would expend as much effort cleaning house as they do covering their behinds.

Mon Dieu, Ou est le guillotine?

Well, the revolutionaries gave it a good try and since then, the toe tapping, collusions and secret plannings of scoring have diminished.

Hope they let them back into the fold of Cheating Tolerators
