Joesitz said:Sad. This will give the ISU all the power it needs to dictate what it wants in anonymous judging and squelch any hint of foul play by the judges in any which way it deems. Crooked Federations march on.

ITA. Without a single event sponsored by the WSF it never got its blades on the ice. However, it is understandable since Speedy's threat to disembowel any skater who would skate under that banner. Foster came too late for reforming the ISU.Mathman said:I am disappointed that the WSF wasted its meager resources on frivolous legal posturing. With the initial support of names like Scott Hamilton, Kristi Yamaguchi, Dick Button and Peggy Fleming, it seems like they could have made some effort toward actually organizing some events. The federation seems to be finished altogether now.Mathman
Which is why I'll never understand why they didn't try to create a pro circuit to give skaters an option for leaving eligible skating and ISU rules and judging behind at the first possible moment. Right now, eligible is the only game in town. Why try to take it over, when you can make something better? How many favors were the collective group of Yamaguchi, Hamilton, Wylie, etc. owed to get the thing started?Joesitz said:However, it is understandable since Speedy's threat to disembowel any skater who would skate under that banner.
